General News
- We have a field trip coming up! We are still in need of parent drivers/chaperones–we’d love your help if you are able.
- Due to this week’s Flu-Funkiness we will be reducing Math P&P—fact attack is optional and kids need only complete the ODD problems in the practice pages. Any extra work will pay Gamma Bucks!
- Please join us for Ms. Shari’s State of the School Address next Wednesday night, January 29th. You’ll visit the Gamma classroom following the school-wide assembly so we can touch base in person to talk about goals/happenings in our second quarter. While attendance is not mandatory, we’ve found it to be a helpful way to stay connected. Please join us if you are able!
- Next Thursday, January 30th is Shipe Park Day!
All Subject Update
In the spirit of the funky week, we’re keeping this section consolidated as all classes took a slight curve in the road to accommodate the holiday, snow day and Flu-Fest 2025. With half the class out (teachers included!) the name of the game was flexibility. For kiddos in class, we accomplished a long division scavenger hunt to practice those pesky long division steps. In theme, we explored the Underground Railroad to follow-up on last week’s exploration of the abolitionist movement. We did a mapping activity on Wednesday and followed it with a “meaningful quote” technology creative project on Thursday where kids used Puppet Pals to make a script of their favorite impactful Harriet Tubman quote with some context as to how it relates to the greater movement. The biggest goal is to get all of our Gammas feeling better and ready to return to school next week. Take great care, get lovely sleep and we hope to see everyone back next week.
