Dear UEW Families,
Thank you to the many families that took time out of their busy schedules to talk with me last week. It was great to finally get a chance to sit down and talk with all of you. Also - thank you to the families that donated lunch and breakfast food - it was such a luxury to have meals provided.
Students are recording their goals in their work journal. We will be checking in with them throughout the year to see how they are progressing. Goal setting is an important part in the development of executive function. If you would like to learn more about executive function, please join us tomorrow evening!
Facilities Forum and Parent Education 6:30-8:30. We will discuss the process, values and project of finding the best learning environment for our students now and in the future. We will also have an overview of executive function!
Students have finished their projects on Widji and practiced their public speaking skills by presenting them to their peers. We have learned so much about the plants and animals of northern Minnesota. We have also learned about canoes and stars!
Preparation for the Science Fair is underway! Please mark your calendars - the Science Fair will be Wednesday, December 14th from 2-3pm. We'd love to have as many families attend as possible, but understand that it is difficult to take time from work and obligations to attend.
Next week on Wednesday, we will have a Thanksgiving potluck! Your child has picked what they are going to bring, please check in with them. This week's homework will be based on our potluck. We will be collecting recipes for the dishes they are bringing.
Please let us know if you have any questions,
Jean and Amanda
