Dear Parents,
Sadly, our fall units are drawing to a close! We have had so much fun with all of our grade levels.
First graders have done a wonderful job learning to become "Target thinkers" with Amelia Earhart! They had the opportunity to complete STEM activities and develop critical thinking skills based on the work of one of history’s most famous aviators. We are so proud of them!
2nd graders have had a blast with our Audrey Aims Unit. They especially enjoyed seeing the artwork we have studied in real life at the Carlos Museum.
Our 3rd graders have quickly become Chess masters! They loved designing their own castles complete with defense mechanisms. We’re looking forward to designing our own themed chess sets next week!
Our 4th grade survivors have honed their survival and critical thinking skills with "Survival: Wit Meet Wilderness". The students really enjoyed our “Eat or Be Eaten” STEM activity in which we designed a device to keep food safe from animals when camping.
5th graders have been learning about the Engineering design process and famous inventions. They will soon begin developing their own inventions! INVENTURE here we come!
Target progress reports will go home with reports card sent in early January.
We're looking forward to having some new Target friends in January. Our testing window will begin the week after Thanksgiving break. 1st, 3rd and 5th grade parents of students who would like additional information about the testing process can come to our parent testing meeting in the Media Center at 8:30 am on Wednesday, November 15th.
Thanks for your support,
Mrs. Parsons & Mrs. Sanders
