| Working hard on the DOL test! |
Week three in the books and rolling! Fall is approaching quickly and I have noted a few dates to remember coming up at the bottom of the blog. Please mark your calendars and join us for the festivities. Fall Harvest Festival is a large fundraiser for the school PTA and we would love to see you! The school is also asking students to bring in a bread donation of any kind on Friday. You may send it in with your child and we will collect it for the festival. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
This past week, the students worked hard and I am very proud of the progress we are making. This week we are changing speeds a bit and focusing more on science while integrating the arts! On Wednesday, September 10, we will be identifying and examining flora samples from around the Pearl Creek campus, followed by a printmaking activity using our samples. If you are interested in coming by to participate or help, please let me know, we would love to have you (9:30 - 11:00ish). A big THANK YOU to Mr. Kurt Carlson for coming in and helping out with our reading groups for the last two Thursdays. We look forward to seeing you this week as well! For those that are interested in volunteering for field trips and classroom activities, I have a Volunteer Information Packet for you to fill out from the District. Please fill this out and complete the required items (Background Check) as it is imperative to be in compliance for the safety of our children and school.
Band and Orchestra start this week for the students and I am sure there will be some excitement around the school!
This Thursday will be the first week of parent communications with your son/daughter in their Writer's Journal. I will have the students bring them home for you to read and respond to. I will include an informational letter for you as well. Thanks so much for your participation in this important activity.
