December happenings

Hello, All!

I hope you are all able to safely enjoy the new snow and the brightness it brings!

Last Week:
Last Tuesday night, 6th graders exhibited their final projects for their study of Ancient Greece. Their work ranged from drawings, models, and dioramas to a play and a chariot race. There was also a lovely selection of Greek food! Thank you to all who came out to support them!

Coming Up:
The 6th graders are continuing to show off their exhibition skills in a Chopped Jr. -style competition to be held next Tuesday, December 19th from 5:30 to 7:30.
As the culminating event for a combined unit in Language Arts and Science, students are using their knowledge of a variety of farming and agricultural practices to intentionally source ingredients for, and ultimately cook, a food of their choosing. Students have been working hard to learn about where their food comes from and how to make informed choices when they eat.
Please look out for an official invitation going home tomorrow!

5th graders are working hard to finish up our reading of the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. We will be going on a field trip to a section of the Cross Rivendell Trail next Monday, the 18th, to give the students hands on experience with some of the challenges Brian might have faced. Permission slips will go out tomorrow.
