Dear LEW families,

What we're working on... short and sweet

First years are finishing up their external parts of birds, reading about King Tut and practicing addition facts along with the bead frame.  

Second years are finishing up their work with annelids, their salt dough maps of Arica and practicing multiplication facts.

Third years are continuing their work with invertebrate classification. Their salt dough maps of Africa will start this week and they are working on a project called "Fraction Masters" to help them practice and become more familiar with fractions in different forms.  

Huge Thanks to Jennifer Nelson for supporting the class while I was away.

I hope you all know just how fortunate we are to have such a warm, caring and unconditionally helpful person in our community.  With my voice gone Wednesday through Friday, Jennifer took on my lessons and helped our community run safely and efficiently.  My substitutes and support staff were just delighted to work with her--she truly did a magnificent job.  I feel so fortunate and grateful to be working along side her.  

I have a feeling many of us are still under the weather, so make sure to get some rest, eat well, wash your hands frequently and get better!

Volunteer Opportunities

1. Classroom Deep Clean: We are in need of adult volunteers to assist in our next classroom deep clean on Tuesday, March 17th from 5-7pm. These events help keep our learning environment sanitary, beautiful and orderly.  Many hands make light work!  Please RSVP to Jennifer Nelson if you can attend.

2. Visitors to share their experiences with Africa! Come in and do some mini lessons with the students or share with the whole class - stories, artifacts, and experiences you had in Africa. 

Stay healthy everyone and enjoy the warmer weather!

Warmly,
Jessy
