CONGRATULATIONS ON FCAT!

 
Dear Parents,

AOE is excited about the majority of results of the FCAT testing.  The comparisons that demonstrate the amount of yearly gain are in and it clearly shows our teachers' commitment to the students and the school as a whole.  In only its second year of existence, Cornerstone earned a "B." This accomplishment cannot be understated! The young charter school exceeded the gains in some areas and helped identify areas we will be targeting. Here are just a few highlights:

The percent of fourth graders scoring three and above surpassed the district's percent scoring three and above in math by 11 points!

Fourth graders made larger learning gains than the district in both reading and math.

Fifth graders made larger learning gains than the district in both reading and math.

Thank you, parents for your commitment and dedication to your child's education!

The Miraculous Journey

of Edward Tulane
by Kate DiCamillo

 

Once in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely.

 

And then, one day, he was lost. Kate DiCamillo and Bagram Ibatouline take us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hobies' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle - that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.
