“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” ~
Helen Keller
I chose this quote because next week is parent/teacher
conferences. I hope you have signed up
for your conference time by now. Working
together is a sure way to help all students succeed in school and develop those
skills that will carry them through life.
Parent/teacher conferences are just one opportunity for the adults in
each student’s academic life to connect with each other. I hope to see you in the building next
Thursday or Friday for your conference.
Mr. Anderson has switched up the artwork in the Lower School
office. His latest installment comes
from the fourth grade students. In
fourth grade the students study ancient China in history. They read a delightful book called Where the
Mountain Meets the moon that related well to their history and to the continued
study of Truth, Beauty, Goodness, and the Pillars. Mr. Anderson connected to their study of
China though an art project. Check out
the description and pictures of the “Ink Branches” that are displayed in the Lower
School office.
Today was the first ever Lower School Historical Character
Dress-up Day. It was great to see so
many students participating. I know each
grade level had particular pieces and assignments they did with their students. I enjoyed visiting each classroom today and
hearing from the students who they were and more about the characters
they chose. Staff members got into the
spirit of the day and 2nd grade teachers, educational assistants,
and paraprofessionals even performed a Readers Theater on The Little Red Hen
for their students. Below are a few of
the plethora of pictures from the day. I
wish I could post a picture of every student on days like this!
Have a fantastic week and a wonderful spring break!
Mrs. Baier
