The Sports Traditions of "MP"
by Taylor Buffington
Pep-talks from the coach, special warm-up routines, and team dinners the night before a big game are all part of pre-game traditions that the sports teams here at Mary Persons take part in. Most teams would admit that they believe they wouldn't be successful if they were to skip a ritual before a game. It's all about consistency and repetition when it comes to sports. Read more.
*Periodically a student from the Empescope class will write a feature article for The Bulldog Beat.

Ms. Rowland's classes practiced using possessive adjectives and family vocabulary by playing a version of the Hunger Games. Each "district" had to run into the cornucopia of Spanish words and figure out what they needed to match the set of English words they had.

Spanish 1 Students "Visit" South America
Sra. Nieves' Spanish 1 classes took a virtual reality field trip last week.
Students used the Google Street View App and placed their phones in the
virtual reality goggles. Working in groups, students visited the following locations: Machu Picchu, The Galapagos Islands, Easter Island, El Morro in Puerto Rico,
and Lake Titicaca. All of these places were mentioned previously in class
during student led presentations over different Spanish speaking countries.
This activity allowed students to virtually immerse themselves in these
locations so that they could describe unique characteristics, as well as
any historical or geographical significance.
