Happy New Year! I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday.
Please help your child choose clothing that meets the dress code. Ms. Kari and I understand that many children receive gifts of new clothing, but we strive to follow dress code standards as closely as possible, and children in our class are held to this expectation. In addition, please be sure your child is packing a healthy lunch and snack. We encourage fruits and vegetables instead of overly sugary snacks. An apple or cheese stick will provide your child with more sustained energy than chips or fruit snacks. Please remember that candy is strictly forbidden.
As we come back to school in 2019, please make a note of these important dates.
STARBASE – 6th grade students only
It is your responsibility as parents to get your child to and from STARBASE on each of the dates listed above.
Week of January 14 – STEM Week
- 4th – STEM Challenge – This in class project will take place the week of January 7 and require a short write up at home. We will do the bulk of the work, and write up in class, with the finishing touches to be completed at home. The at home portion of the assignment will take approximately 30-60 minutes since we are doing the bulk of the work in class. This will be due Monday, January 14.
- 5th – Invention Convention – Shortly after Thanksgiving, your students were given a log book for this home project. The details for this project are laid out in great detail within the log book. This project is due, Monday, January 14. If your student needs a new copy, you can download and print one by following this link: Invention Convention Log Book
- 6th – Mentor 4th grade students in their STEM challenge
We look forward to seeing your children back in class Thursday, January 3.
