Weller Elementary School
Well...we made it back in one piece! A huge thank you to all the volunteers (parents, grandparents, uncles) that made it to our Angel Rocks Educational Excursion. The day was fabulous and the weather couldn't have been better. All in all, we had 10 volunteers join us and Mr. Bragonier (ELP teacher here at Weller). Every student completed the hike, round-trip! It was especially great that one of our parents (not sure if you want me to mention a name), drove their trailer out so we could have a home base, handwashing station, and emergency shelter if needed. The Otterpops and Gatorades were a hit. While everyone did their part in some form (s'mores, balloons, chaperoning) all of you played an integral part in the magical day.
This week...
Is the final week of the 2021-2021 school year! I have to say that despite all of our challenges, I have enjoyed this group of kiddos tremendously. I have received many compliments from both staff and parents, about how kind, compassionate, and caring they are. We started online and it was not ideal, but when we came to the classroom in January we hit the ground running and never looked back. This students have grown, learned, and discovered their resiliency in unprecedented ways. Thank you for always being supportive, understanding, and flexible at home. This type of success doesn't happen without parents/guardians like you!
We will be finishing up projects, cleaning out desks/cubbies, tidying up the room, and sending home work that has been completed. We will have some extra outside time and of course, an epic water balloon battle on Thursday (the last day of school). I will also try to fit in an egg drop engineering project, and launch them off the roof! Finally an art project called Mt. Fuji!
Here is a little stat to be proud of: To date, the kids have completed 173 writing prompts and we will finish with four more this week! More to come...
