Learning Centers

Take a look at this interactive lesson I created over multiplying fractions and whole numbers on Glogster.

The Ron Clark Academy

The Ron Clark Academy is a prestigious school in Atlanta, Georgia which holds all the students, teachers, and parents accountable. This academy works toward advancing education through new techniques and modern strategies that enhance learning. This academy maintains its high standards while continuing to function as a non profit school. In order to be able to attend, one must be in the 5th grade. Students in kindergarten through 4th can not attend. However, they must begin the prestigious application process during their 4th grade year. All extensive details are given while the academy is accepting applications. Right now, The Ron Clark Academy is full and is not accepting applications or interviews despite the circumstances.

What makes The Ron Clark Academy different?
The Ron Clark Academy calls for all parents to volunteer 40 hours throughout the entire school year. It is because of this vital step that The Ron Clark Academy stands above the rest. Parent involvement creates not only a better environment at the school due to support and knowledge of whats going on, but it also automatically creates a better environment and more support at home. Because the parents are expected to give time at the school, the school becomes an important part of their life which then also arises within the home. Because of this simple yet crucial step, The Ron Clark Academy is known for their rising test scores. They are also envied for their learning environment which is only possible due to the parental support at home. And last but not least, The Ron Clark Academy is recognized for their vast amount of field trips. This again is only possible because of the parent support...(the Academy requires the parents to sign a contract allowing their child to go on all educational field trips before admission, because that is how important they believe it is).
