SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUCTION

Picture
  • ​​Lisa Prindle
  • Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Minor English
    Master of Arts  in Educational Leadership
    Master of Arts in Reading
  • Eight year at RHS; Twenty-first year teaching
  • Teaches Spanish 1 and 2

Students in Ms. Prindle's Spanish 2 class are creating an original legend in Spanish using the two past tense forms and vocabulary they have just learned. Students are using traditional “legend” phases and vocabulary. They must also come up with a moral of the legend or story.  Students then present their legend in front of the class in Spanish. This group activity was a great way to integrate the new forms of the Spanish students just learned with previous knowledge of the language.

SAT PREP QUESTION OF THE DAY

To help our students prepare for the SAT and PSAT RHS hosted a "Practice SAT Question of the Day" the two weeks prior to Spring Break. Each day a new question was posted online for students to answer and five random students, who answered the question correctly, were selected to win a gift card to restaurants around Rochester. Thanks to all students who participated and good luck to all of our students taking the PSAT and SAT!
