Update 1/11/18

Hello Crow Wing Families, 

Bun is back from his extended vacation over break.  We appreciate donations of vegetable scraps such as broccoli stems, lettuce hearts, and the outer leaves of Brussels Sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower.  Bun cannot eat legumes, meat, dairy, or grains.  

There will be no early work Wednesday, Jan. 24.  Andrea and I have a meeting to attend and won't be able to receive students until our regular arrival time, 8:15am. We will have early work next Wednesday, January 17th. 

We have an ongoing need for kleenex.  Our use has far outpaced our budget this year!  Please consider donating tissues if you are able. 

Our sixth graders are holding a fundraiser for their end of the year trip Monday, January 15th.  The Thomas family is hosting - I've attached a posting from Heather with details.  

What we're working on:

4th
Personal Narrative Essays
States of Matter
Logical Analysis
Types of Angles

5th 
Native Peoples Project
Technical Writing
Air Pressure and Prevailing Winds
Direct Speech Conventions

6th
Imaginary Island - Types of islands and landforms review
Persuasive Writing
Degrees of Dependence
Drafting MN History Projects

We are all working on serving the community through "selfless acts" since returning from break.  The sixth graders have taken the lead on this work - they have been working to identify good options and lead by example since mid-December.  They are working to complete three acts of service to our community a day (helping others with work, picking up and cleaning the classroom, supporting lower el students, supporting transitions, etc) and younger students are working to complete one or two community oriented tasks a day.  

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Andrea and Cate
