Spotlight: THE

CAMBRIDGE PROGRAM BY:NICOLE HERNANDEZ AND MARIAN RODRIGUEZ

We interviewed Mrs. Torres-Pino about the Cambridge Program at Kendale.

Q:Why did you think of bringing Cambridge into our school?

A:Thank you for thinking I brought it but I didn’t. It was presented to Mr.Fox and he accepted it.

Q:Now that we have Cambridge, are we going to have more activities?

A:The activities are left up to your teachers to implement. However, I am working with Mr.Fox in

coming up with some fantastic ideas.

Q:Do you think students are going to like Cambridge?

A: I absolutely know they will enjoy it! It comes with a hands-on learning approach, discovery

and inquiry learning, cross-curricular lessons, and many challenging, yet rewarding activities!

Q:What are one of the things you think teachers should be doing with Cambridge?

A:We are very fortunate to be part of a school with many excellent and dedicated teachers.

Cambridge is made up of several components that many of us have already been implement-

ing. One area teachers can continue or begin implementing is cross curricular instruction.

Welcome to Kendale Elementary’s November Newsletter.

As we begin the 2nd Nine Weeks, we are committed to

overcoming the challenges that we are faced with while

maintaining and exceeding the goals that we have set for

the 2014-2015 school year. As we enter the holiday

season, let’s pause and reflect on all that we are thankful

for. Personally, I am thankful for the overwhelming

support of parents and staff working together to create a

dynamic learning atmosphere. Let’s continue working

together to make our students dreams come alive!

York Burrito in Oren, Utah ,

which allowed their customers

control over creating their

meals. Jerry and Naomi wanted

to provide that same freedom

with desserts. Jerry used his

chemistry backround from

Brigham Young University to

develop a method of freezing

ice-cream using nothing more

than liquid nitrogen (which

comes from the air we breathe).

His technique was such a suc-

cess, that in

2004 he opened SubZero Ice

Cream and Yogurt. It has

changed from a small, local

business into a regional sensa-

tion. Locations can now be

found throughout Utah, Arizo-

na, Idaho, Washington, Florida,

California and Indiana, and will

be coming to other locations

Subzero is a new ice cream

shop located in the shopping

plaza near Kendale. The com-

pany freezes liquid ice-cream at

-321 degrees so you can taste

ice-cream like never before. It

was an accepted company by

SharkTank. People get to

choose from a pre-frozen prod-

uct. Now, Subzero makes gour-

met ice-cream in front of you

within seconds of ordering.
