Let's Get Fired Up!

Science Fair Success!

We were so impressed with our students' science fair projects this year. Thank you for the effort your families put forth. We know it is a lot of work to get a project completed! Here are some of our projects.

End of the Year Expectations

With the end of the year fast approaching, we understand that the weekly responsibilities of our students may get harder to manage from home. However, we want to encourage our learners to continue strong work and study habits through the end of the year. We have many fun activities planned and would hate for students to miss out because they are finishing class work.

Weekly writing homework turn-in has been pretty strong, but nightly math assignments and reading logs are starting to be more challenging to the kids. They also need to have a parent sign/return the Fox Report every Tuesday. If you are not seeing a Fox Report, please check with your child or contact one of the teachers; we are sending them home every Monday evening.

State Capitol Visit

We had a wonderful time at the state capitol on Friday. The tour was very well done, and the view from the top of the building was beautiful. Thank you so much to our families that sent money in to help cover the cost of busing and/or who helped chaperon our student groups. Here are a couple of great shots from our trip (thank you Ivy for your photos):

Oregon Garden Call Out

On June 3rd, we will be visiting the beautiful Oregon Gardens. We are looking for parent volunteers that are available to chaperon the whole day (7:50-2:20). Only our class is attending, so seating on the bus ride will be much more comfortable. If you are available to help, please let Mrs. Harrington or Ms. Kinsman know through email or with a telephone call.

While we are on the Topic of Gardens

Do you live near the school and love to water plants? Well, we have a job for you! Over the summer we need some helpful families to water the plants in our school garden. If you are interested in helping, please contact Mrs. Harrington or Ms. Kinsman. We are setting up a schedule soon.
