Congratulations to Paine Intermediate’s Math Coach, Lisa
Lothspeich! Lisa was invited to present
at the Alabama State 
Department of Education’s 2015 MEGA Conference this summer
in Mobile with Terrance Ingram from Scantron.
In Lisa’s session,
participants will learn how Paine Intermediate School uses Achievement Series
(AS) and Performance Series (PS) data to drive mathematics instruction. During
her time in Mobile, Lisa has been invited to participate in a focus
group about Global Scholar with Scantron Executives. We are so proud of Lisa and her
representation of our school and the Trussville City Schools district!
5th Grade Field Trip to Birmingham Botanical
Gardens:
5th Grade students participated in a working
field trip to fulfill several of the Language and Science standards from the
College and Career Ready Standards set forth by our state. Students louped and sketched various plant
life. After analyzing their sketches of various plant life, they utilized their
drawings to write poetry and stories to represent their findings.

One of the skills that a third grader must grasp is identifying
conditions that result in specific weather phenomena, including thunderstorms,
tornadoes, and hurricanes. This includes
identifying cloud types
associated with specific weather patterns; identifying positive and negative
effects of weather phenomena; identifying technology used to record and predict
weather; explaining symbols shown on a weather map; and organizing weather data
into tables or charts. James Spann from
ABC 33/40 shared his expertise about weather with 3rd graders at Paine
Intermediate.
