Mary McLeod Bethune was the
founder
of
Bethune-Cookman
College. She also served as a New
Deal government official -- she was
one of the 20 highest-level offices
held by women in the administration,
and the highest held by an African
American woman. She played a key
role
in
founding
FDR's
"black
cabinet." She also served as president
of the National Association of Colored Women, and she founded and served as president of the
National Council of Negro Women.
On August 18, 1920, Tennessee passed the proposed 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by a
one-vote margin, becoming the 36th state to ratify the measure and clearing the way for its official
adoption eight days later. Incredibly, women’s suffrage in the United States ultimately hinged on an
11th-hour change of heart by a young state legislator with a very powerful mother.

Minutes after Tennessee ratified the 19th Amendment, essentially ending American women’s
decades-long quest for the right to vote, a young man with a red rose pinned to his lapel fled to the
attic of the state capitol and camped out there until the maddening crowds downstairs dispersed.
Some say he crept onto a third-floor ledge to escape an angry mob of anti-suffragist lawmakers
threatening to rough him up.
The date was August 18, 1920, and the man was Harry Burn, a 24-year-old representative from East
Tennessee who two years earlier had become the youngest member of the state legislature. The red
rose signified his opposition to the proposed 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which stated
that “[t]he right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United
States or by any State on account of sex.” By the summer of 1920, 35 states had ratified the
Linwood Holton Elementary School

Telephone (804) 228-5310
Office of The Principal
measure, bringing it one vote short of the required 36. In Tennessee, it had sailed through the Senate
but stalled in the House of Representatives, prompting thousands of pro- and anti-suffrage activists
to descend upon Nashville. If Burn and his colleagues voted in its favor, the 19th Amendment
would pass the final hurdle on its way to adoption.
After weeks of intense lobbying and debate within the Tennessee legislature, a motion to table the
amendment was defeated with a 48-48 tie. The speaker called the measure to a ratification vote. To
the dismay of the many suffragists who had packed into the capitol with their yellow roses, sashes
and signs, it seemed certain that the final roll call would maintain the deadlock. But that morning,
Harry Burn—who until that time had fallen squarely in the anti-suffrage camp—received a note
from his mother, Phoebe Ensminger Burn, known to her family and friends as Miss Febb. In it, she
had written, “Hurrah, and vote for suffrage! Don’t keep them in doubt. I notice some of the
speeches against. They were bitter. I have been watching to see how you stood, but have not noticed
anything yet.” She ended the missive with a rousing endorsement of the great suffragist leader
Carrie Chapman Catt, imploring her son to “be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the ‘rat’ in
ratification.”
Still sporting his red boutonniere but clutching his mother’s letter, Burn said “aye” so quickly that it
took his fellow legislators a few moments to register his unexpected response. With that single
syllable he extended the vote to the women of America and ended half a century of tireless
campaigning by generations of suffragists, including Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul, Lucy Burns
and, of course, Mrs. Catt. (“To get the word ‘male’ in effect out of the Constitution cost the women
of this country 52 years of pauseless campaign,” Catt wrote in her 1923 book, “Woman Suffrage
and Politics.”) He also invoked the fury of his red rose-carrying peers while presumably avoiding
that of his mother—which may very well have been the more daunting of the two.
The next day, Burn defended his last-minute reversal in a speech to the assembly. For the first time,
he publicly expressed his personal support of universal suffrage, declaring, “I believe we had a
moral and legal right to ratify.” But he also made no secret of Miss Febb’s influence—and her
crucial role in the story of women’s rights in the United States. “I know that a mother’s advice is
always safest for her boy to follow,” he explained, “and my mother wanted me to vote for
ratification.”

WE NEED YOU!!
Dear Holton Parents,
We need your help promoting physical fitness and health to our youth and
community with our biggest fundraiser the Holton Hustle 5k Fest. Currently we need
volunteers to serve on our pre-planning committee to help us make our 2015 event
successful. Due to the loss of several integral committee members and the fact that
many current members will be leaving after this current school year, it is imperative
we fill these leadership positions now to provide continuity. On the back of this flyer
there is a snap shot of the different subcommittee duties for you to review.
If you can devote your time to serving on this committee we will greatly appreciate it.
Complete the form below and return it to the PTA mailbox OR send an email to
[email protected] indicating, which positions you, can fill. Our next meeting

School-wide Science Fair Projects
March 23, 2015
Dear Parents,
It’s that time of year again! The Holton Science Fair is Wednesday, May 19, 2015. Projects are
due Monday, May 11, 2015. Science Fair Projects will be judged May 12-15, 2015 and will be
displayed at the May 19, 2015 PTA Meeting.
All students in grades fourth through fifth are required to complete a science fair project. Grades
Pre-kindergarten through third grade students may submit an individual project or class/group
project (some of the first grade teachers may require individual projects). All projects will be
entered in the school-wide science fair. At the discretion of the first through fifth grade teachers,
the project will count as a test grade and a project grade. This is a great opportunity for your
son/daughter to receive an “A” on both a test and project. Ten projects from grades K-4 will be
kept and entered in next year’s city wide science fair.
Fourth through fifth grade projects must be completed outside the classroom. Parents are
encouraged to assist when necessary, but the student should assume the greatest responsibility
for the project. Students are required to prepare projects using the scientific method. They have
been taught this in class. Included in this packet are the following: “Guidelines for Submitting a
Science Fair Project”, “Specifications for the Exhibit of the Science Project” and “Scientific
Method Vocabulary”. Please read this information carefully. This information will aid you and
your child in planning and displaying his/her project. Because science projects are timeconsuming and require planning ahead and pacing, a Student Self-Check Schedule sheet is
included in this packet. Please use the self-check to ensure that your son/daughter is on track and
will complete the project by the due date.
Science Fair projects will be judged in several areas. Each area is explained on the Science Fair
Rubric included in this packet. Have fun and enjoy your science adventure!

Guidelines for Submitting a Science Fair Project
•
Science fair projects are aligned with Virginia Standards of Learning of the investigative
nature. Therefore, all projects MUST be an experiment, not a model. Virginia Standards
of Learning 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, and 5.1 state that students will participate in scientific
investigations. An experiment MUST include the following:
•
Title (stated in the form of a question)
•
Purpose
•
Hypothesis
•
Materials
•
Procedure
•
Responding/Manipulated Variable
•
Constants
•
Data
•
Results
•
Conclusion
•
Some projects will not include each of the category headings above. Category headings
should be included in projects as appropriate to grade level. (i.e. constants are not taught
at first grade level so first grade projects will not include constants).
•
All projects MUST be self-standing. Free Standing Science Project boards can be
purchased here at school for $3.00. Boards will be available for purchase March 11,
2013.
•
No live animals, preserved vertebrate animals or parts including embryos may be
exhibited at the fair. Photographs should be taken instead.
•
No liquids should be turned in. Take pictures if liquids are required.
•
No expensive equipment should be brought in. Pictures of microscopes are sufficient if
the student wishes to emphasize what he/she used.

•
A paper describing the research, notebooks, or other relevant materials should be
displayed with the project.
•
All projects MUST be typed.
Specifications for the Exhibit of the Science Fair Project
Our school requires a free-standing, three-sided display that is no larger than 122
48 inches wide, 108 inches tall, and 30 inches deep. The display may be made out
of plywood or fiberboard hinged together or may be constructed from folded,
corrugated cardboard or reinforced poster board. Please ensure that the display is
sturdy and will not fall over. Students should organize their exhibit according to
the following arrangement.
The display can be covered with colored paper. Use contrasting colors to print the
title and other headings. Type the information for each step and fasten it below the
appropriate heading. Construction paper can be used as backing for information.

Scientific Method Vocabulary
Title
The title of your project is the name of your project. The title should be simply stated in the form
of a question.
Purpose
The purpose should be stated as an objective. Why are you conducting this experiment?
Hypothesis
After you have done some research on the project topic, you should formulate a statement of
what you would expect to happen as a result of your experiment or investigation. The hypothesis
is an “educated guess” of the expected answer to the research question. The hypothesis should
be written in a complete sentence. It should not be stated as an opinion, beginning with, “I
think”.
Materials
The materials should be listed in sentence form. The materials are everything that was used to
conduct the experiment.
Procedure
This is the step-by-step directions as to how the experiment was conducted. This should be
written in complete sentences using a numbered sequence or transitional words such as first,
next, last and finally.
Independent or Manipulated Variable & Dependent or Responding Variable
In any investigation only one factor should be changed, while all other factors remain the same.
The factor that is changed or manipulated is called the independent or manipulated variable. This
is the variable that you changed on purpose. The independent or manipulated variable has an
effect on another factor, called the dependent or responding variable. This is the variable that
changed as a result of the experiment.
Constants
The constants are all of the factors that remained the same in the experiment.
Data
Data is collected throughout the experiment and can convey a great deal of information. Your
data includes any photographs, charts, graphs, tables, or drawings showing what happened
before, during or after conducting the experiment.
Results
The results should explain the data in the form of a statement. Results should include what
happened during or after conducting the experiment.
Conclusion
What did you find out and how does it compare with your hypothesis? Was your hypothesis
proven or not?

Scientific Method Sheet
Title: Does the temperature of ketchup affect how fast it flows?
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to find out if the temperature of
ketchup affects how fast it flows
Hypothesis:
Example 1-If the temperature of ketchup is increased, then the travel distance will
decrease (stated as cause & effect).
Example 2- It is hypothesized that the travel distance of ketchup will decrease if
the temperature of ketchup is increased).
Materials: 3 packets of ketchup, 1 cup of ice water, 1 cup of room temperature
water, 1 cup of hot water, 1 dinner plate, a stopwatch and a metric ruler
Procedure: 1. Fill a container with water and allow a few minutes for the water to
reach room temperature. 2. Use tape or a felt marker to make a starting line on the
plate near the top. 3. Fill a second container with ice water and a third container
with hot tap water. 4. Place a ketchup packet in each temperature of water; wait 2
minutes. 5. Quickly remove each packet and squeeze an equal amount of ketchup in
separate “blobs” on the starting line. Put the blobs in order such as ice cold, room

temperature, and hot, so you will remember where you put each one. 6. Tilt the
plate at a 45° angle and measure the distances in centimeters that the blobs of
ketchup flow in 30 seconds. Record your results.
Independent/Manipulated Variable: The manipulated or independent variable
was the temperature of the ketchup (in ice water, room temperature, and hot
water)
Dependent/Responding Variable: The responding or dependent variable was the
distance the ketchup flowed in 30 seconds.
Constants: The constants in this experiment were the brand of ketchup, angle at
which the plate was tilted, amount of time ketchup packet remained in the water
and travel time.
Data: See photographs, graphs and chart
Results: The ketchup that was placed in hot water traveled the farthest distance.
Conclusion: The ketchup placed in hot water traveled the farthest distance
because heat causes molecules to spread apart and move faster, causing it to flow
down the plate at a faster rate. Cold water causes molecules to stick together very
closely. My results do not support my hypothesis that when the temperature of the
ketchup is increased, the travel distance of the ketchup would decrease. In fact,
when the temperature of the ketchup increased, so did the travel distance of the
ketchup.

Purpose of the Practicum
The practicum for early elementary education covers two semesters, with placement each semester in a different school.
The practice are referred to as A and B, each two-credits. Planned observations and tasks are identified for the twosemester sequence. Students spend a minimum of 40 hours in a designated school. Practicum a students are placed in a
K-2 classroom and their time should be spent during language arts. Practicum B students have two placements, one K-2
classroom and one 3-5 classroom, and their time should be spent during math, science, and social studies
The in-school experience is an opportunity to observe how learning experiences are developed and structured and to
examine how teachers make decisions in elementary school classrooms. The practicum is intended to be a time for
observation and interaction. While a few tasks require teaching formal lessons, the practicum is not intended to provide
extensive instructional experience. To provide focus to the experience, tasks for the practicum students in early
elementary education have been identified.

Timeframe of the Practicum
Each practicum student will spend a minimum of four hours a week for ten+ weeks in their assigned school. Days and
times will vary for each student because of individual class schedules. Moreover, days and times must be agreed upon
by the cooperating teacher and the student. Students will begin and end their practicum experience according to
semester guidelines established by the university instructors.
Professional Roles
•
•
Role of the Cooperating Teacher: The preparation of new teachers is an important task that could not be
done adequately without the professional and unselfish assistance of effective teachers willing to share their
classroom. Cooperating teachers have two major responsibilities during the practicum experience. First, and
foremost, they should provide opportunities for practicum students to work with students in a variety of
capacities. Students are to work closely with the teacher, and should never assume responsibility for the entire
class alone. Second, teachers need to provide opportunities for students to complete assigned tasks and verify
completion of hours by signing the timesheet. Teachers are encouraged to give feedback to students, but are
not asked to sign grades. An evaluation will be completed at the end of the practicum experience to provide
more extensive feedback to the students.
Role of the Student: During the practicum experience, the student is a learner. The student is to eagerly seek
to learn about the policies and procedures of the school as well as the dynamics of teaching and learning that
occurs in the classroom. The practicum students are provided the opportunity to observe and learn in a
classroom environment and should act responsibly at all times. Informal participation is encouraged when
directed by the cooperating teacher. Students should complete practicum tasks after discussion with
cooperating teacher and should listen to feedback to improve their teaching.
Professional Expectations of the Student
Practicum students represent VCU and the School of Education. They are guests in the school and classrooms. What
students do while in the public schools reflects on the institution and influences the thinking of professionals regarding
the quality of the teacher preparation program and the students. It is expected that each student will represent VCU well.
Students’ performance during their practicum will also become part of their “legacy” and how others view them as
potential applicants for a position in the school division. Consequently, students should pay close attention to such
things as punctuality, reliability, appropriate dress, neatness, scholarship, and willingness to work with the cooperating
teacher. Essentially, students should demonstrate enthusiasm for relating to children and be committed to working with
teachers and performing designated tasks of the practicum.
Student Responsibilities
Students are expected to fulfill the following responsibilities during the semester:
• In-school assignment for minimum required time of 4 hours each week.
• Spend a minimum of ten weeks in assigned school during the semester.
• Complete all required tasks which may vary by instructor.
• Write an evaluation of the practicum experience.
• If extenuating circumstances occur, notify the school and cooperating teacher prior to absence(s) or
immediately thereafter.
• Arrangements must be made with cooperating teacher to make up absences.

USEFUL LOCKDOWN DRILL INFORMATION What is a lockdown? A school lockdown confines all staff and students to the classroom due to a perceived or real threat; isolation of staff and students inside the school limits exposure to risk to outside contaminants: people, exposures or situations. When should a school go into “lockdown” and who makes the decision? There are several reasons for a school to determine that a lockdown status is most protective of its staff and students. There may be an unwelcomed person or persons on the campus grounds; local law enforcement has notified administration of a situation (i.e., chemical accident) or person of concern in the vicinity; or a menacing animal has been seen on the grounds. In short, there is some sort of event occurring, or threatening to occur; limiting access to staff and students can mitigate that the school believes. For actual incidents requiring lockdowns, building principals can initiate lockdown status or by the prompting/guidance of local law enforcement. •
•
•
•
•
•
DIRECT all students from hallways into classroom. Notify appropriate staff of primary classroom/location if/as possible that student is safe. Do not exit classroom for ANY reason. Inform students that they are not allowed to use their cell phones for calls or for text messaging during a lockdown drill or situation. Hundreds of calls being made simultaneously will not only jam the system, but will result in parents arriving at the school, which only increases the danger to everyone. LOCK all exterior doors. If there is no lock on the door – move heaviest object in front if possible. CLOSE windows and blinds. STAY AWAY from all doors and windows, move students towards walls away from door. SHUT OFF LIGHTS. DO NOT OPEN exterior doors for any reason until an “all clear” is received. Linwood Holton Elementary School

DO NOT USE the telephone system to request information. Follow building protocol to communicate room status. BE QUIET! Wait for further instructions. CALM and reassure upset students. RESUME NORMAL OPERATIONS as soon as possible. Location Considerations Gymnasium: Students should be moved into the locker room, lock all doors and seek shelter in pre-­‐‑identified safe areas. Lunchroom: Students should be moved to the far side of the most open areas, turn tables on side if necessary. Outside: Students should stop, drop and remain still or huddle around playground equipment p.m.ent; if/as possible, depending upon situation, attempt to move into building. Bathrooms: Students/staff should move into a stall, lock the staff door and crouch on the toilet so feet, hands and head are hidden from view Hallway: Students should move into closest classroom immediately Library: Students should seek shelter under tables, or in aisles. Lock the door, turn out the lights. What to Tell Students As appropriate, encourage staff to review the importance of emergency drills with students, as well as their role during drills. Provide students with specific instructions about each drill and include the drill objectives. Allow student feedback concerning lockdown drills. Provide drill information to all new students. Plan accordingly for students with disabilities. What to Tell Parents Linwood Holton Elementary School
1600 West Laburnum Avenue
Richmond, Virginia 23227-4416
Telephone (804) 228-5310
Office of The Principal
Parents should be informed of the requirement for all drills to ensure safe practices during emergencies in the school building. Schools need to inform parents, either before or after a lockdown drill; if after, commend student behavior and add any suggestions or changes for future drills. During a lockdown drill or situation, parents must not attempt to enter the building until the area has been secured by local law enforcement or cleared by administration.
