Dear Parents,
Sadly, our fall units are drawing to a close!
We have had so much fun with all of our grade levels. 1st graders have done a
wonderful job learning to become "Target thinkers" with Leonardo Da
Vinci! They had the opportunity to complete STEAM activities and develop
critical thinking skills based on the work of one of the world's most famous
innovators. We are so proud of them! Second and third graders have had a blast
with Audrey Aims. We've recreated several art pieces from the past, including
an Andean belt, and Egyptian papyrus. We've also learned about the art and
science of art conservation. Our 4th grade "bard" have honed their
acting and critical thinking skills with "Reinventing Shakespeare".
We will be creating and performing parallel scenes in the next couple weeks. Be
on the lookout for information about our culminating activity - the Shakespeare
festival! Fifth graders have been learning about the Engineering design process
and investing famous inventions. They will soon begin developing their own
inventions!
We're looking forward to having some new
Target friends in January. Our testing window will begin 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. Time and place TBA. Be on the lookout for
more information.
Thanks for your support,
Mrs.
Parsons & Mrs. Sanders
