From the Principal’s Pen
by Jaime Zapico
The end of the school year is approaching quickly, but students still need to be mindful
of their grades and standardized testing. Remember, grades can be accessed 24 hours a
day by going to http://echo.newtechnetwork.org. Interim reports for the final period of
the school year will be distributed on Friday, April 17.
LEAP and i-LEAP testing, which will assess science and social studies for the middle
school students, will be taking place on April 14 and April 15. Please make sure your
child is at school each day and on time. Make sure they get a good night's sleep and a
healthy breakfast each morning. I know they are all going to do great! Their teachers
have been prepping them for these major assessments all year. The second phase of
PARCC testing will be taking place the week of May 4.
The Class of 2015 and their parents will celebrate their approaching graduation with
Mrs. Taylor on Sunday, April 12 at the World War II museum. Mrs. Taylor started this
tradition with our first graduating class in 2009. We are very grateful for this
opportunity each year with her. I look forward to a beautiful day celebrating with my
seniors. Please be there promptly at 10:30 so that lunch can be served on time.
I’m excited about the annual “Muffins with Mom” event on Tuesday, April 21 from 7:30
– 8:15. am. We appreciate all that our Taylor moms do for our students, and this is just
a little way for us to say “Thank you.”
Senior awards night will be on Wednesday, April 29 at 6:30 pm at school. Every senior
is recognized at this event. Many awards will be given to the seniors that night, and we
hope all of you can make it.
The Class of 2015 will be graduating on Saturday, May 9 at 6:30 pm at the Alario Center. Seniors will need to be at the Alario Center by 5:30 pm. Parents, please make sure
all family members are on time for this special event. The doors will be closing at 6:25
pm to prepare for the entrance of our graduates. The doors will re-open after the National Anthem. No exceptions will be made. Thank you for your cooperation!

Coming Soon from Middle School SGA
by Angela Guthrie
The Middle School SGA would first like to thank the HS SGA and junior class
especially for putting on a fantastic “MORP” dance for the middle school students earlier this semester. What a great new tradition! The Middle School
SGA is happy to announce that we are currently getting ready for our last
dance of the year, our annual “Spring Fling!” The dance will follow the same
rules as our previous two casual dances. It will take place on Friday, April 17
and will be held at school from 7-10 pm. This dance is for PFTSTA middle
school students only. The cost of the dance is $5 and your ticket price includes the cost of one snack/drink. The next big event that our reps will be
working on planning is the annual 8th grade picnic, where we celebrate that our
8th graders will officially be entering high school! It will take place on May 15th
at school during lunch. More details are coming soon!

Game-Based Quizzes
Socrative continues to be one of my favorite tools for creating and hosting review
quizzes. Socrative offers an option for displaying immediate feedback as well as a final
score. It also allows the user to add images to quizzes and host collaborative activities
called "space races."
Kahoot is similar to Socrative, but is slightly more game-like and competitive:
“… educational content is delivered by asking meaningful questions in real-time,
creating a social, fun and game-like environment.” Like Socrative, Kahoot allows users
to add images, and game players can receive immediate feedback, as well as an overall
score.
Jeopardy Style Games
eQuizShow is an online tool that was created by a high school student in New York
state. Users can create and view quizzes exclusively online, without the need to
upload a PowerPoint presentation. Creators also have the option to assign points to
up to six teams or to play without awarding points. Finally, eQuizShow offers a gallery
of pre-made quizzes for efficiency and inspiration.
Jeopardy Rocks, released in September 2014, is a new tool for creating Jeopardy-style
review games. Games can be edited at your convenience, and when it’s time to play,
up to six teams can compete on the game board.
FlipQuiz is another site designed to make it easy for teachers and students to create
and play Jeopardy-style review games. FlipQuiz is free to use for text-based questions.
A premium plan is available if you want to use images in your questions or answers. If
you choose the free plan, your FlipQuizzes are automatically shared into the public
gallery.
Google spreadsheets can do this too. There are a huge number of templates, scripts
and add-ons available for Google Apps. Flippity, a Google spreadsheet script that was
originally developed to created flashcards, can also be used to create Jeopardy-style
games. Watch this video to learn how.
Other Games
ClassTools.net’s web site isn’t pretty. However, in addition to some of my favorite
educational technology tools, like Fakebook, SMS Generator, and Twister, it also
offers templates for creating review games. Check out the Pac-Man or Connect Four
styles, or build a QR code treasure hunt.

TinyTap, available for iOS and Android, allows users to create review games based on
images and diagrams. For example, users can create games in which players have to
identify parts of picture or diagram, or assemble a puzzle by dragging and dropping
pieces into place.
Flashcards
Quizlet’s flashcards, tests, and study games make learning fun and engaging. Furthermore, because Quizlet is available on mobile devices as well as the web, you can study
at home or on the go.
Study Blue allows users to search their extensive library of digital notecards (flashcards)
or create their own. Like Quizlet, Study Blue is also available on the web as well as iOS
and Android devices.
Google Docs Template Gallery offers templates for creating flashcards from a Google
spreadsheet. Of the available templates, I would recommend the one offered
by Flippity.net. This tool allows users to quickly create a set of flashcards which can
include text, images, and videos. Users can even turn flashcards into printable quizzes.
Watch this video to learn how to use Flippity to create flashcards from your Google
spreadsheet.

APRIL
2015
by Elizabeth Kahn
Teen TECH Week 2015 was a huge success. Every day the students could visit
the library at lunch for a different activity. These included a game with cell
phones, a movie, a presentation on meditation and mindfulness, a craft activity
with marshmallows and toothpicks, and a photo op using book covers. There
were also five research riddles that students could solve to win a daily prize. Lots
of pictures were taken during the week, and you can visit the library website
here to see them all: bit.ly/PFTSTATTW15.
Students Edwin Salinas,
Alex Nguyen, and
Kaelynn Freeman show

“Jon and Pamela
Voelkel got teachers to
eat fried worms again
and crowded the stage
with students playing
air guitar.”
The 6th and 7th graders were treated to two days of author visits in March. The
first visit was from Peter Lerangis who was touring the country to promote the
fourth book that was recently published in his series, The Seven Wonders. His acting background gave him the tools to entertain the students. He told stories
about his childhood and how he became the writer that he is today and used
varied voices to bring these stories to life. The students laughed out loud over
and over again as he took them on a wild ride through his crazy life before and
after becoming a writer.
Jon and Pamela Voelkel made their third visit to Taylor, and though they got
teachers to eat fried worms again and crowded the stage with students playing
air guitar again, it was all fresh for this crop of 6th and 7th graders who had not
met the intrepid duo before. The Voelkels have had many adventures throughout
Central America where they did research for their books. They also did research
here in New Orleans for the last
book in the Jaguar Stones series. It
was a blast having them return, and
we can always count on them to
put on a great show. Visit the library website to see all the pictures
from both visits: http://bit.ly/

Kids Code Class
by Lisa Valence
Four Tuesdays in March, you could find fifteen students in the computer lab until 5:00
pm learning about coding from instructors from Tech Talent South, a local job training
company. Taylor Tigers learned to code using html and then created their own web page
for an imagined business. Students were highly engaged throughout this program. It was
great that Tech Talent South brought their expertise to our campus at no cost to us!
Thank you!

Progressive Waste and Saints Recycling
APRIL

Ten area schools are participating
in a recycling contest to determine
which school diverts the most
trash from the landfill. Our school
was selected to kick off the contest, and present among other
community leaders was Tim Lelito, Saints cornerback. Pictured are

who hosted this contest. Although
there are a few more weeks to go,
at midway, Taylor was leading with
51% of our trash being recycled.
Way to go, Tigers!! Enjoy the video

TVA Students’ Sculpture on Permanent Display
by Linda Patrick
The Jefferson Parish Talent Visual Art
project recently exhibited at NOMA in
the Art in Bloom show was a collaborative piece created by students of 15
TVA teachers. It was comprised of boxes representing different neighborhoods
in New Orleans. Marissa Nguyen and
Valerie Ruiz contributed a box representing the University neighborhood.
The sculpture was greatly admired and
now has a permanent home in the lobby
of the Preservation Resource Center,
which is located near the CAC, the Ogden, and the WWII Museum. The participating artists’ schools, including Patrick Taylor, will be acknowledged. It is
an honor to be represented in such an
important and high profile New Orleans
institution. It is also a testament to the
value of the Talent Visual arts program,
its commitment to excellence, and the
quality of our students’ art.

6th Grade Talent Art Students Experiment with Sculpture
by Amy Bryan
Some sixth graders in Talent Art have been creating wire sculptures. They have been learning the uniqueness of
using the material and thinking about three dimensional forms. Their first instinct was often to tape or glue
pieces of wire together. As they got used to creating wire sculptures, they realized that bending wire and linking it together was more effective. Their understanding of creating forms with depth instead of flat outlines
evolved, too. They learned from each other, while still focusing on their individual creations.
Sydney Andras, Erin
Wallace,
and
Janee Kovacs
Erin Wallace, Janee Kovacs, Julia Hutto, and Sydney Andras now have wire sculptures on public display outside of the art
room until the end of the quarter. Janee created a bird in a cage, Erin and Sydney created trees, and Julia created a narwhal.

Pre-Algebra News
Susie Klusendorf
This April in Pre-Algebra, we've
turned our attention to statistics! We've been learning about
types of correlations in scatter
plots, estimating best fit lines,
and independent vs. dependent
variables. We completed two
creative and colorful scatter plot
projects that now decorate our
classroom, and even flew paper
airplanes — all in the name of
math, of course! With the paper
airplanes, we experimented with
paper size to discuss independent
and dependent variables. Even
though this concept is
traditionally a science lesson, we
related it to our study of linear
equations by determining the
types of variables in a linear
equation. After our
study of statistics,
we will turn our
attention to rational and irrational
numbers as our
year comes to a
close.
