I hope your kiddos enjoyed the extra day off this week! My apologies for getting this out to you a bit later than usual. I (Mrs. G) had an accident on Friday evening. I was running to my car and tripped, hitting my mouth on the pavement. I also managed to fracture my right ankle and spent a long night in the ER. I will be home this week recovering and am hopeful that I can return next week. Mrs. Shortridge will be with the students on Wednesday and Jase’s mom, Mrs. Hemming, will be in on Thursday and Friday.
Just one thing to note this week:
Field Trip Forms: Please ensure these are returned tomorrow!
Happy Friday & Snow Day #3! I hope your family has been keeping warm with all this crazy weather…and I hope your kiddos aren’t going too squirrely! I know my boys have been THRILLED to have three days off of school!
I don’t have much to report since the class has been home for over half of the week. 😀
Genius Hour Assembly: We will reschedule this for the first week of February.
French Quiz: This will take place on Thursday, January 25th.
We just wrapped up our first week back after a fantastic two-week break! Mrs. Shortridge and I were really impressed with how quickly the students got back into the groove of things. We also enjoyed a cozy casual day this week and got to enjoy some delicious homemade beef vegetable soup made with vegetables from the Highroad Garden.
Cozy Casual Day (again) this Wednesday: Lucky students…they get one more!
French Quiz on Thursday: Students brought home a study guide for a French quiz on Thursday.
Munch a Lunch: If you haven’t done so already, update your pizza orders on munch a lunch.
Genius Hour Launch on Wednesday: We’re thrilled to start Genius Hour next week. Our Genius Hour kickoff assembly is scheduled for Wednesday, and following that, a parent letter will be sent home. This is an exciting opportunity for students to delve into their interests and select a topic they’re eager to explore further.
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas break! We wanted to give you a heads-up that tomorrow is a cozy casual day – this is a prize for meeting our goal with the Christmas hamper items you provided.
Rube Goldberg Videos: My apologies for not getting this to you sooner – I meant to post this before the break. The students did SUCH an amazing job on their Rube Goldberg machines. Enjoy the video Mrs. Shortridge created!
