Hello Crow Wing Families,
Our Geography Fair is this Wednesday! Please stop in between 2 and 3pm if you are able to see students' work. If you have the time to circulate among multiple classrooms, our students would love the opportunity to present their work to as many families as possible. When you arrive, please come to the south door to be let in. When you leave, you make take your student with you if you choose, or can have them head home their usual way. Please do not park in the parent pick up line. You may park on the south side of Energy Lane or in the Bandana Square parking lot.
We will have books for sale at the Geography Fair to support the Upper El Montessori Model United Nations trip. Books are $0.50 each!
If you are wondering how your student is doing, what work they may have late, or what goals they are pursuing, please check in on your student's conferencing document. Either Andrea or I shared a google doc with you early in the fall - we update that document each time we conference with your child. If you have questions, please ask!
Our next Critter Cash Sale is this Friday! We will be in the adolescent building selling baked goods and crafts from 3:15-4pm. Please consider donating brownies, bars, cookies, or some other treat. Families are welcome to stop in and purchase food or craft items!
We will have a Read In Friday, December 22. We invite students that are caught up on work to bring in pillows, blankets, extra books, comfy clothes or pajamas, and read all morning. We use the time as guides to support students that have late assignments in getting caught up.
Please let us know if your child won't be in school next week - we've heard from a few children that they will be traveling towards the end of the week. It helps us plan our time better if we know how many students we'll be missing. If you plan to take your child out of school for a week or more, please support them in taking pictures of your adventures and preparing a speech to give when they return.
Homework this week will focus on helping students get caught up on missing assignments. Each child will receive a homework reminder listing any essays they are missing. Essay assignments may be found on our classroom blog.
Things we're working on this week:
- Final preparations for the Geography Fair
- Square Numbers, PEMDAS, Percents, Fractions, or Area of a Circle
- 4th graders are designing their own tricksters and prewriting their trickster tales, studying density, and learning about synonyms and antonyms
- 5th graders are retelling creation stories from around the world, studying types of soil, and learning about verbal nouns and adjectives
- 6th graders are wrapping up their study of indigenous science, examining glacial erosion and soil formation, and furthering their study of native languages around the world
Thank you for your ongoing support (and for food scraps for the bunny)!
