Technology in the Classroom
Posted Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Recently, 7th graders Mary Beth E. and Emma A. put together an advertisement to run on local radio stations advertising the Nazareth Academy Open House. They took 16 separate sound bytes of Nazareth students and spliced them together. The challenge was getting the entire ad within the 30 second time frame. After they managed to put the voice clips together, they put the Jets for Jesus song as a backdrop and decreased the volume on the song so that the voice clips stood out.

Students have also been working on the Nazareth Academy TV show as well as TV ads for the upcoming Open House on February 2.

SmartBoard Project Continues
Posted Thursday, January 7, 2010

The SmartBoards in Every Classroom Project continued this week when 4 more SmartBoards and Mounted Projectors were ordered for the school.

Earlier this year, a SmartBoard and mounted projector was installed upstairs in Mrs. Burkett's room. Later on, 3 more projectors were mounted and Wireless Smart Slates were installed in 3 other classrooms throughout the school. Over the Thanksgiving holidays, several grants were awarded to Nazareth Academy to continue the SmartBoards in Every Classroom Project. On Wednesday of this week, 4 more SmartBoards and Mounted Projectors were ordered and will be installed in the coming weeks. Once this phase of the project is complete, 8 classrooms at Nazareth Academy will be equipped with permanent mounted projectors attached to a PC with 5 of those classrooms also having a wall mounted Interactive Whiteboard (SmartBoard).

This project would not be possible without tremendous amounts of help and know-how. Nazareth Academy parents Charles Slaten, Allen Livingston, and Bill Beck have spent many hours at the school and at home researching SmartBoards, as well as, many other exciting new technologies to ensure that our Nazareth Academy students and teachers have the technology they need to stay above the curve in today's fast moving world. All of the SmartBoards, Projectors, and Computers were installed (and continue to be installed) with volunteer labor at no cost to the school. The project would not be possible with out them.

The project would also not be possible without the leadership of Mr. Kloesel and Sister Bernarda who have given their input, approval and guidance throughout the project. Sister Ann and Mr. Livingston have been instrumental in applying for and receiving the grant monies that have also made the project possible. Sister Ann has also been involved every step of the way, offering input, guidance and labor when asked.

Thank you to everyone involved in the project. If you would like more information about SmartBoards, please visit their website. If you would like more information about the SmartBoards in Every Classroom Project or would like to make a donation, please contact the school.

The Outsiders
Posted Wednesday, November 11, 2009

The 7th Grade Literature class has been studying "The Outsiders" and recently dressed up as "Greasers" and "Socs".

By Richard M., 7th Grade:

On Thursday, November 5th, 2009 the seventh graders of Nazareth Academy dressed like the Greasers and Socs from the book The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton. We students are learning about the different types of conflict. The book is perfect for learning about conflict because there seems to be tension involved in every chapter. There is both internal and external conflict. Reading The Outsiders is fun with Ms. Chen.

By Mary Beth E., 7th Grade:

In Literature class the 7th grade is reading The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Ms. Chen, our teacher, allowed us to dress up as one of the
characters from the book. I chose to dress as Cherry, a Soc, while others chose to dress as both Soc's and Greasers. Ms. Chen even
interviewed us, and we had to take the role of the person we dressed as in answering her questions. This allowed us to get in the
footsteps of the characters, and thus understand the book better. The Outsiders is a story filled with action and suspense, and I enjoyed it very much.

By Megan M., 7th Grade:

In Literature the 7th grade class is reading the novel The Outsiders. It is a very fun and interesting book. There are so manyactivities
our Literature teacher (Ms. Chen) provides for us. The story has a very good lesson, or moral to it, as it teaches you that there are
problems we all must face in life, and that no one is perfect. It also teaches that everyone is equal; that is, no one is better than
anybody else. On Thursday, Nov. 5th Ms. Chen allowed us to come to school dressed as Greasers or Soc's (characters from The Outsiders). This was a very fun and creative idea and I enjoyed it very much. The Outsiders is a very good book.
