The Altamont Scholars Bowl Team began the 2010-11 year by competing in the Hoover High School tournament. Placing first and second to sweep the Middle School division, and placing first and third to win the High School Novice division, Altamont is now slated to send a team to the National Association of Quiz Teams (NAQT) national
tournament in April in Atlanta. Most recently, the middle school team made its way to and through the finals of the Donoho Tournament. This was the last tune-up before the Alabama Scholastic Competition Association series of tournaments begins on Jan. 22. Altamont also plans to participate in the Deep South Academic Challenge and at least one team will compete in the National Academic Challenge this May.
VHEW Students Go West Via Computers Using Skype Program
Terri Kennamer’s third grade class at Vestavia Hills Elementary West headed west to Dallas Sept. 8 via computer. Using Skype, the class communicated with Shonda Guthrie, a certified academic language therapist who has been working with Vestavia teachers throughout the district. The interaction with Guthrie began when a student wrote a poem about the “breve.” Students at West have been learning about the scientific spelling of words. During the conversation, students discussed the methods they have been taught. Students asked Guthrie to mail them a postcard from Dallas for their geography project. The requested postcard will include purposely misspelled words. Guthrie will follow up with the class to see if all misspellings were found. ❖
