Educadora general de Herkimer destacada: 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! 

La Sra. Johnston inscribió a su clase en el programa "First in Math" en enero, con 6 alumnos que querían entrenarse para la competición de marzo. Se entrenaron con ella después de clase y en clase. Toda la clase de la Sra. Johnston empezó a prosperar y a ganar confianza en matemáticas cuando empezaron a utilizar el programa. 

"Es una alegría que mis alumnos me pidan hacer "Primero en Matemáticas" cuando tienen tiempo libre. Las matemáticas se han convertido en algo divertido y emocionante a medida que aprenden, ganan pegatinas y avanzan por los niveles del Muro de la Fama." 

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!
