Holiday fun!

Dear Parents,

The children requested that we do “Secret Santa” again this year.  They have each drawn the name of a classmate and will need to bring a one dollar gift (no more) for that person on December Dec. 20.  We will be having a little class party that day.  They are also welcome to bring a fun food item to share for the afternoon.  We will still be having our regular lunch that day.

I would also like to have a favorite recipe from each child with their name included.  Please email the recipe to me, or send a copy with your child to school as soon as possible.

Also, just a reminder that Monday is an early-out day.  School will dismiss at 1pm.

Thank you!

Ms. Krista

 

STEM home Project

 Dear Parents,
The lower-elementary has started its next unit with the theme of STRUCTURE.  We have made some small changes to the project expectation which will be due Friday, January 18th.  The changes are as follows:

Level 1: Will research and present on a scientist

Level 2: Will do a project using the scientific method

Level 3: Will present on either simple machines or forces of motion

For the STEM Fair home project, we will ask that your child create a science presentation. We want to treat our STEM Fair not as a general “Science Fair,” but rather a celebration of science.

A science celebration presentation is not limited to just a tri-board.  Listed below are ideas your child can choose from (but are not limited to) for the STEM Fair.

Some ideas include, but are not limited to:

  • Poster or tri-fold board
  • Brochure
  • Hands-on experiment with write-up
  • Experiment demonstration by student (must be able to show over and over)
  • Create a board game
  • Video (Example: Make their own Bill Nye)
  • Performance or skit
  • Diorama
  • Create a book
  • Create a lesson or work

The STEM festival will be the week of January 14th. The students will be presenting school-wide after STEM week starting January 22nd.
