PAVA's vision is to provide a rigorous learning environment where students experience the arts through its integration into their core classes as well as through the in-depth study of various artistic disciplines.

English

With Ms. Wagener

In English, we learned all about different types of writing, such as argument and creative. We read a short story called "The Hitchhiker" by Lucille Fletcher and a novel called Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

Create your own dichotomous key

Why I chose this assignment it is because we had to find information about a god but we had to work together and we planned to do one slide each. Also we learned more about Ares the god of war.

We had to make our own dichotomous key and identifying objects.

In Science, we've learned about natural systems, living systems, cells, body systems, and much more.

Math

With Ms. Jenkins

Math topics include the following: GCF/LCM, rates and proportions, integers, expressions and equations, and statistics. If time allows, we get into basic geometry. We also do a handful of hands-on projects throughout the year.

Black History Mathematician

I chose this assignment because I needed to search info on a mathematician that did really good things in NASA and I loved working on it.

With Ms. Toschi

About the class...In History, we are studying Ancient Civilizations. We have studied ancient Egypt, Israel and Greece. We are learning about different cultures by learning about their history, music, dance, art, and literature.
We learned about the Greek gods and goddesses and have done slide presentations.

Biography Book Talk

I needed to research a person from ancient times and I learned a lot about them it was fun.

History

With Ms. Williams

Ever curious about how choreographers get their inspiration? Well, you are in luck because currently we are learning about the world of Modern Dance and how using Pantomimes and gestures (real life movements) can be inspired into creating realistic dances. Who would have ever thought I can turn something as simple as brushing my teeth into a dance!?!
