“All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively
speaking, are willing to pay the price.”
~Juvenal, Roman poet
Thank you to everyone who attended parent/teacher
conferences last week. I have heard how
fruitful the conversations were from both teachers and parents. Guiding children to the possession of
knowledge is not an easy task. While
children are naturally curious, the work that they need to put in to gain
knowledge and reach goals is not natural for all. This leads us back to our focus on grit. There are trade-offs and setbacks in the
pursuit of knowledge and as I’ve said before parent/teacher teamwork is key in
helping children develop the qualities needed for a successful knowledge
quest. Thank you so much for forming
those parent/teacher relationships that support the children at Eagle Ridge
Academy. Those formidable teams make it
extremely difficult for any child NOT to succeed!
Mr. Anderson has been decorating the LS Office with art
again! This time we have some amazing
kindergarten pictures based on Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Take a moment to look at all the different
layers in the picture. All of the
different types of learning in just one picture is amazing to me!
Third graders have been writing couplets. They had a couplet competition. The winners were posted on the 3rd
grade Wall of Excellence in the hallway.
Check out the pictures below for a chuckle or two!
On Thursday, March 26th we will be having our 2nd
Annual Lower School Historical Character Day.
Teachers have communicated the themes for each grade level. It is an exciting day that brings together
the knowledge they have learned in many different subjects. If you have any specific questions about
costumes, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Baier
