UEW Update

Hello UEW  

Conferences are right around the corner, looking forward to seeing you all.  All 5th and 6th year students will be attending conferences this year!

 

A reminder - we will dismiss at noon next Wednesday, November 9th.  We will not have lunch at school.  Buses will run their regular routes.

 

We wrapped up our month long study of Widji related topics this week.  Students presented their work to each other this Friday morning.  We will use this as a practice run for our winter work share, which will be a Science Fair on December 14th.  Families are invited to the Science Fair, so mark your calendars for 2pm on 12/14!

 

In addition to planning "catch up" days (days with no lessons), we are setting aside Wednesday mornings for children that need to come in and make up lessons, who want some additional support, or just need the quiet of a very small group in the classroom.  You may drop off your children as early as 7:45 without an appointment.  This is also a great time to check in with us yourself, although we will support children first. 

 

Looking ahead, we will be celebrating a Thanksgiving potluck together on November 23rd.  We will ask students to choose and test a recipe as part of their homework for next week.  We have vegan and gluten free students, so please consider helping your child choose a dish that they can share with all students if possible.  Homework this week will focus on writing directions.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support!  And for the bunny food donations - please keep them coming!

 

Enjoy this beautiful weather!
