2016 - 2017 Page & Pen STUDENT LITERARY DIGEST, VOLUME 34 Arlington Traditional School 2016 Summer Reading Challenge Reading is a Really Big Treat! From Sea to Shining Sea... Arlington Traditional School The Page & Pen is an annual publication of the Arlington Traditional School PTA 2016 - 2017 Page & Pen VOLUME 34 Arlington Traditional School 855 North Edison Street Arlington, Virginia 22205 Holly Hawthorne, Principal Page & Pen 2016-17 Table of Contents Kindergarten ................................................................................................................................. 1 First Grade ................................................................................................................................... 17 Second Grade ............................................................................................................................... 23 Third Grade .................................................................................................................................. 36 Fourth Grade ................................................................................................................................ 54 Fifth Grade .................................................................................................................................... 61 Acknowledgments Page and Pen, the yearly Arlington Traditional School literary magazine, is a truly collaborative effort. It starts with all of our students, whose imagination, creativity, and love of learning have come so vividly to life on the printed page. Thanks to all of the teachers and staff for compiling and submitting student writing and artwork for the magazine, especially to ATS Reading Specialist Anitra Butler-Ngugi, who coordinated the submission process. As she has for the past decade, Sarah Schmer designed the publication, producing the beautiful, professional layout that you see on the pages within. Finally, a special thanks to Principal Holly Hawthorne. Her commitment to ATS students “learning to read so they can read to learn” makes up part of the backbone of this publication. Her continued support is invaluable. Please enjoy your 2017 edition of Page and Pen! David Glendinning June 2017 Page & Pen 2016-17 Dedication It has been another award-winning year at Arlington Traditional School. ATS won the Virginia Board of Education Distinguished Achievement Award and was ranked by NICHE as the No. 1 public elementary school in Virginia and in the D.C. metropolitan area! Both of these prestigious awards recognize schools that exceed standards and achieve high academic excellence. ATS students read and write across the curriculum. “Reading is a Really Big Treat From Sea to Shining Sea” was our Summer Reading Challenge that was celebrated on Reading Carnival Day at the school with author/illustrator Laurie Keller. We continued our partnership with the George Mason University Sally Merten Fellowship writing program. Throughout the school year, the Masters of Fine Arts students taught weekly writing lessons to our students in grades one through five that ranged from poetry writing to narrative fiction. Both teachers and students grew as writers as a result of this partnership. You may see some of the students’ fine work represented in this Page and Pen magazine. Our focus continued on the ABCs of Success – Academics, Behavior, and Character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship). We continued our support of the Arlington Academy of Hope (AAH), our sister school in eastern rural Uganda. We wrote friendly letters to the 350 primary students at AAH. Because of the partnership between these two schools, AAH has seen the success rate for its students rise from virtually zero to 100 percent at the two highest levels on national exams. Our first group of students are career professionals and university graduates. We are bringing hope and success to children who otherwise have none. As I review the almost four decades of history of Arlington Traditional School, I am proud to be a part of its wonderful traditions and accomplishments. I want to thank all of our teachers and staff, parents, and students, past and present, for making this such an exceptional place to learn and grow. In safe, challenging, joyful classrooms, our goal is to engage, educate, and empower students to reach their fullest potential. Thank you for 38 years of excellence!

Environmental consciousness in the early 19 th century commonly operated on two interrelated layers.

    “LITTLE TIBET” WITH “LITTLE MECCA”: RELIGION, ETHNICITY AND SOCIAL CHANGE ON THE SINO-TIBETAN BORDERLAND (CHINA) A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Yinong Zhang August 2009 © 2009 Yinong Zhang “LITTLE TIBET” WITH “LITTLE MECCA”: RELIGION, ETHNICITY AND SOCIAL CHANGE ON THE SINO-TIBETAN BORDERLAND (CHINA) Yinong Zhang, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 This dissertation examines the complexity of religious and ethnic diversity in the context of contemporary China. Based on my two years of ethnographic fieldwork in Taktsang Lhamo (Ch: Langmusi) of southern Gansu province, I investigate the ethnic and religious revival since the Chinese political relaxation in the 1980s in two local communities: one is the salient Tibetan Buddhist revival represented by the rebuilding of the local monastery, the revitalization of religious and folk ceremonies, and the rising attention from the tourists; the other is the almost invisible Islamic revival among the Chinese Muslims (Hui) who have inhabited in this Tibetan land for centuries. Distinctive when compared to their Tibetan counterpart, the most noticeable phenomenon in the local Hui revival is a revitalization of Hui entrepreneurship, which is represented by the dominant Hui restaurants, shops, hotels, and bus lines. As I show in my dissertation both the Tibetan monastic ceremonies and Hui entrepreneurship are the intrinsic part of local ethnoreligious revival. Moreover these seemingly unrelated phenomena are in fact closely related and reflect the modern Chinese nation-building as well as the influences from an increasingly globalized and government directed Chinese market.
  • Winter Weather Awareness Day 2010

    Winter Weather Awareness Day 2010

    Nebraska Winter Weather Awareness Day Winter Weather Awareness Day - November 4, 2010 With Fall upon the Great Plains, now is the time to focus attention to winter weather and the dangers it can pose to life and property. November 4th, 2010 has been declared as Winter Weather Awareness Day for the state of Nebraska. Each year, dozens of Americans die due to exposure to the cold. Winter weather accounts for vehicle accidents and fatalities, and results in fires due to dangerous use of heaters and other winter weather fatalities. Other hazards, such as hypothermia and frostbite, can lead to the loss of fingers and toes or cause permanent internal injuries and even death. The very young and the elderly are among those most vulnerable to the potentially harsh winter conditions. Recognizing the threats and knowing what to do when they occur could prevent the loss of extremities or save a life. A winter storm can last for several days and be accompanied by high winds, freezing rain or sleet, heavy snowfall and cold temperatures. People can be trapped at home or in a car with no utilities or assistance, and those who attempt to walk for help could find themselves in a deadly situation. The aftermath of a winter storm can have an impact on a community or region for days, weeks, or possibly months. Wind - Some winter storms have extremely strong winds which can create blizzard conditions with blinding, wind driven snow, drifting, and dangerous wind chills. These intense winds can bring down trees and poles, and can also cause damage to homes and other buildings.

    Exemplar Texts for Grades

    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
