We Can do it!
At Malvern Elementary School it is our vision that all students believe that they can aspire to attend college. We want to prepare students to be successful in their elementary, middle school, and high school years, so that if they choose to go to college they will be ready. We don't want them to pass on classes they could have taken and then decide to go to college and not be prepared.
To support our vision of being college bound learners each teacher "adopts" a University to represent. This allows the students to learn about many different options for their post secondary education. I have selected Portland State University (PSU) as our University. I selected this University because it has been selected as one of the best Universities by US News and World Reports in 2013. Also, the climate and culture is different from Texas and I thought this would expose our class to a different region in the United States.
The mascot for PSU is The Viking! Therefore, we will also learn about vikings this year.
Throughout the year we will learn about the different programs offered at PSU and the extra curricular activities/sports that a collegiate can get involved in at school.
Go VIKINGS!
