Dear Parents,
    It's been another awesome week in Target! Here's a rundown...

    1st graders are becoming true Renaissance boys and girls! Last week, we created art on the "ceiling" and constructed musical instruments out of STEM materials. Did you know Leonardo DaVinci built his own Lyre? Next week, we will learn about DaVinci's plans for a flying machine and will begin designing our own parachutes.

    2nd graders are continuing our Cubism unit and study of Pablo Picasso. This week, we did a cubist-style piece and next week we will be creating collages. Just like Picasso, we are learning to 'let go of perfection' - in art and life!

    3rd graders are learning about programming and coding through our Mission Possible unit. We learned about technical writing by taking a scavenger hunt through our Reacon Rover manuals. We are excited to see the robot trading card projects (Due 2/12).

     4th grade wrapped up Survival; Wit Vs Wilderness with a tribal council meeting and trail mix buffet! Our service learning project was a huge success! The warming kits and snacks are much appreciated by MUST ministries. Thank you so much for your donations and support!

    5th graders have done an amazing job on Ignite! They have been working so hard as we rushed to the finish! Please join us for our local competition on February 15th from 9-11 in the learning commons. We know you will be just as impressed as we are!

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