Beachmont
Last week, 2nd grade students in Ms. Mantenuto’s class presented their landform research to parents. Over the course of several weeks, students did research on various types of landforms such as canyons and volcanoes. They then worked with our technology teacher to create video reports in front of a green screen that showed various types of landforms in the background. Students worked extremely hard to learn to edit the video and add the special effects, and their hard work paid off in the form of a fantastic presentation.

Revere High School
On May 21st and May 22nd, over 150 Revere High School students presented their capstone projects to a panel of judges in partial fulfillment of their graduation requirements. It was amazing to see the amount of work preparation and time that went into these projects, which focused on wide-ranging themes, including academic, social, music and arts, summits, internship, social media technologies, and many others. The presenters were passionate, articulate, and authentic in sharing their experiences with their peers, teachers and parents who were in the audience. A review panel comprised of teachers, administrators, and a member of the school committee gave assessment feedback to the presenters by asking questions, suggesting strategies for improvement, and exploring students’ ideas for future projects. As a school that strongly believes in and is committed to promoting student agency, as a vehicle to support student-centered learning, we are increasingly encouraged to seeing more and more students engaged in public speaking and risk-taking approaches. This certainly gives us a lot of confidence and trust that the work that we are all engaged in is paying dividends. Congratulations for the work well done! We are proud of our students!
