Dear Upper Elementary West Families,
The first week of school was filled with smiles and greetings as old friends greeted each other and new friends were welcomed. We really enjoyed hearing about exciting summer travels and other adventures.
This time before Widji is being spent with stories, assessment, reviews and talking about classroom norms. Everyone is very excited about the upcoming trip. If you have not filled out the necessary forms, please do so. It is also important to review the packing list to ensure you have all the necessary gear. But don't worry, Camp Widji does have extra gear if it is needed.
Stay tuned for a volunteer sign up. Upper Elementary West is in need of volunteers to come and cook with students, to help with our classroom laundry, to help with pet supplies and accompany students of Going Outs! A Going Out is trip planned by a student or a group of students to further explore something they are interested in learning more about. This is different from a field trip which is planned by the teacher.
The UEW is starting to have a Montessori Beautiful Lunch! We are still searching for some plates. We are looking for any style Corelle plates, these are really sturdy and stack easily. If you have any to donate, we would appreciate them!
Upcoming important dates:
9/27-9/30 Trip to Camp WIdji
10/3/16 No school
10/15/16 Harvest Festival
10/20-10/21 No school MEA
Best,
Jean and Amaanda
