Advocacy

Course Description

 In Advocacy students work on social-emotional skills. We have time to greet one another, do the classroom jobs, read stories, and discuss social-emotional situations. The curriculum we use is called Generation Schools Network. Each month advocacy classes will work on different themes ranging from bullying prevention to growth mindset.

Student Led Conferences

Hello All!

I cannot believe that it is already the end of the year! Please sign up for STUDENT LED Conferences on June 4th using this link->https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0b49a4ac29a3fc1-tuesday

Please sign up for a start time in one of the available 30 minute time slots. Please sign-up for a start time with your HOMEROOM teacher only. Student-led conferences allow a half-hour time slot for 5 parents/students to come in during that time frame ONLY. The student will lead you through their work and portfolios. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear from the student about what they feel they have learned, what goals they have met and what skills they continue to work on.

 

To sign up for a conference with the specials teachers, you will need to sign up on their conference form that you can find on their page.

 

For Student Led conferences, YOUR CHILD WILL NEED TO COME WITH YOU and show you their work.This is not a time to meet with the teacher about the progress your child has made this year. There will be other kids/parents in the room. If you have any questions for your child’s teacher regarding academics/personal questions, please contact them via email. If teachers have any information that they need to communicate to you about your child, we will be reaching out to you.

CANCELLED - Bike and Walk to School Day 5/8/19

UPDATE: All morning activities have been cancelled due to weather and visibility concerns. 
Thanks! 

Dinosaur Palooza! 5/6/19

Our field trip is TOMORROW!

 

Tomorrow we will be heading to the Morrison Dinosaur museum. This field trip is kick starting our end of the year cumulative project about Dinosaurs!

A couple reminders:

  1. Wear Purple!
  2. Bring a disposable lunch. Please pack your snack(s) SEPARATE in your child’s backpack. Please DO NOT send the Pizza Lunchables. They take a considerable amount of time for kinders to assemble and can be very messy. Thanks you for understanding! :) 
  3. We will be leaving around 9:15 so please make sure you aren’t late to school. We should be back around 1pm.
  4. Half day pickup will be at 1pm in our normal spot. Full day kids will have normal pick up.

If you didn’t receive an email from me asking you to be a chaperone, that means someone else was picked!

 

Please reach out with any questions!
