Dear Parents,

    We've had another successful week in Target!

     1st graders have continued their study of Amelia Earhart. We have discussed her childhood and what life in America was like when Amelia was growing up. Next week, we'll be creating a timeline of her life and important events in American history.

      2nd graders have been studying ancient Egypt with Audrey Aims. Our papyrus is dry and ready for Hieroglyphics! We'll be taking a field trip in November to see the artwork we are studying in person! Be on the lookout for a field trip permission form coming soon.

     3rd grade had a visit from Kid Chess to help kick off our Chess unit. The students who did not know how to play got an intro lesson while more advanced students competed against the coaches!

      4th graders dream vacations were derailed! Now how will they survive in the wilderness with only their clothes, a few bottles of water and a tin of crackers?!? We can't wait to see their divergent thinking next week!

      5th graders are diving deeper into the Ignite unit! We have continued studying empathy and global issues. This week, the students created news reports about major world issues. We are really looking forward to seeing their world-changing ideas take shape!

      Thanks for your support,
                Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. Parsons
