Confirmed Voyage Presentations Times

Thanks to all the students and parents who have sent in their requested time slots for the Bridges' Presentations.  In most cases, you were able to get your first request. If your first request has already been taken, and you have a preference, it is important you give me several possible options as I am filling these in first come-first served.  Favored slots are filling fast! I still need to hear from these families: Luka, Ely, Zane, Gage A., Drake, Lilly D., Henry, Cya, Jaden, Gracie, Sofia, Gavin, and Lily W.

Great progress is being made on the SDL projects.

We have a lot of students who have early-birded on their rough draft deadline! Which means the final draft of their (first) feature article will be completed almost two weeks early! We are hearing many great reports of successful visitations and projects being done. In fact, on our first PLAID day (this Wednesday) Lily decorated a cake. She was generous enough to bring it in on Thursday and share it with us! Isn't it amazing?

TCAP is here!

Your child has already prepared for this state assessment.  During these next two weeks we want our students to feel proud of all they have learned and show what they know.  WE already know our students are strong community members with empathy and problem-solving skills.  They approach learning as a life-long, rich project.  Good rest and support will help make this experience positive and productive.


Our schedule will be slightly adjusted during this time.  At 8:45 we will start our day and a snack will be provided. The testing window for the entire elementary is from 9:00-10:30.  At 10:30 we will have a recess and we will study math from 11:00-11:45.  Lunch and break is followed by a mini-lesson and specials.  From 1:45- 3:15 we will focus on literacy and inquiry. 


I could still use some baby-food jars for our upcoming science simulation called "Peterman's Pond."  Thanks to the parents who have donated everything from cotton swaps to bags of dirt!

Students should be bringing their research materials to class.  They are abile to sign out their folder to take home, and many students have been showing fabulous focus and enthusiasm for their topic.  Some of us, myself included, have had to make some changes and adjustments.  Everyone had an individualized conference last week and, hopefully, is feeling on track.  The FINAL draft of the Feature Article (hopefully one of many) is due BEFORE spring break.  Email me if you have any questions your child can't answer.
