Weekly Update - January 18th


Happy Cold and Icy Friday...Looking forward to the sunshine this weekend!


Next week is an extremely short week due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day and two teacher work days.

Monday - No School (in observance of MLK Jr. Day!) 

Tuesday - At 9:00 we will have a guest speaker come in and talk to us about Germany. He plays in an Oompah Band! We are excited to hear about him and his music along with learning more about our sister country! After our guest speaker, we will work on our end of the quarter repeated tasks, set new goals, complete our self-report cards, fill out new job applications, and talk about recycling to get ready for our field trip on Wednesday. 

Wednesday - Field Trip to Frank Liske Park! Students should wear P.E. uniforms since we will be active and pack a ZERO-WASTE lunch. We will be picking up trash in the park, sorting it into recycling/compost/trash piles, and discussing ways to reduce our carbon footprint - focusing on the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). After lunch students will be able to decorate Food Lion paper grocery bags with slogans and logos to encourage shoppers to be environmentally aware. On our way back to school we will drop the paper grocery bags off at the Food Lion on 49 - stop in after Wednesday afternoon and ask for paper bags! When we arrive back at school students will journal about their day and how they made a difference by completing one of our four core values: service. We will be sharing our experiences at the February Board of Director's meeting. 

Thursday - No School (Teacher Work Day)

Friday - No School (Professional Development Day for Teachers)
