Hello Crow Wing Families,
Please consider stopping by our Critter Cash Sale today after school. We'll be in the parking lot to the north of the elementary building with used books, baked goods, and cocoa (while supplies last!). Prices will be low - maxing out at $4 for bigger, fancier books, so only a few dollars will get you home baked treats and high quality books!
Early Wednesdays are up and running! Please support your student in completing late work or receiving extra lessons by making a plan to attend Early Wednesday work time. We're here at 7:45am, students can knock on our exterior classroom door to be let into the building.
We are looking for a couple more lamps and extension cords to use in our classroom. As the light fades into winter, we'd like to be able to light our space with softer lamp light instead of the overhead fluorescents. If you are willing to lend or donate a lamp or extension cord, please let us know.
Our bunny is a voracious little composter! He likes many things that would otherwise be food waste:
- cilantro and parsley stems
- broccoli stems
- cauliflower and lettuce hearts
- carrot peels
- ribs of greens like kale, chard, collards, and mustard
If you are willing to collect and send these items into school, we can cut our rabbit food budget a bit each week.
Conferences are in two weeks. Sixth grade students must attend their conferences and will lead the discussion of their work and goals. Fifth grade students may choose to attend to present their work. Fourth grade students do not attend conferences. We look forward to seeing you all on the 16th and 17th.
Things we're working on:
Everyone: Finishing Widji Projects
4th grade: First and Second Laws of Motion, Equivalent Fractions, finishing the study of early humans
5th grade: Natural Systems, Adding and subtracting fractions, Apostrophes and plurals
6th grade: Human geography and rain shadow deserts, Minnesota History Study - the Dakota War, complex sentences and dependent clauses
Thank you for your ongoing support!
