U fokusu: Opća edukatorica Herkimera: Anna Johnston

Fourth grade teacher, Anna Johnston from General Herkimer Elementary, is proud to showcase her own Utica Gems.  

3 of her 4th grade students have qualified for the “First in Math” New York Statewide Mathematics Tournament in Albany, New York on Saturday May 30th. 

Ali Alblay, Habibah Binti Hassan Ali, and Madina Nar, took 1st place in the Regional Virtual Competition held in March. Her class competed individually along with all Utica District Schools, Schools in the surrounding Districts from New Harford, Waterville, Central Valley, in addition with Schools Statewide. These 3 General Herkimer students will represent our District and surrounding Districts at the Tournament! 

Gospođa Johnston je u januaru upisala svoj razred u program „Prvi u matematici“, sa 6 učenika koji su željeli trenirati za martovsko takmičenje. Trenirali su s njom poslije škole i na času. Cijeli razred gospođe Johnston počeo je napredovati i graditi samopouzdanje u matematici kada su počeli koristiti program. 

„Drago mi je što moji učenici traže da urade 'Prvi iz matematike' kada imaju slobodnog vremena. Matematika je postala zabavna i uzbudljiva dok uče, zarađuju naljepnice i napreduju kroz nivoe na Zidu slavnih.“ 

Wish Ali, Habibah, Medina and Mrs. Johnston luck as they travel to Albany to compete against other 4th grade teams from Rochester, North Merrick, Ossing, Half Hollow Hills and 4 schools from NYC on Saturday, May 31st. 

Congratulations to our own General Herkimer Utica Gems, we are proud of you!
