We are starting to practice selecting books for Home Reading but are keeping the books at school until we are ready to send them home with the students.  Once we have taught the students how to select an IPICK book from the cart, we will send a letter home explaining our intentions behind daily home reading.  

BOOK ORDERS ARE DUE for Whispering Willows and Snowy Owl and due Monday for Wild Rose and Mountain View. 

We are doing seed math!  We have students working collaboratively to talk about different and efficient ways to count seeds.  Some groups organized their seeds in rows, counted by 1's, 5's and even 10's.  

We had two practices today for our Peace Assembly.   

We are hoping all of our Kindness Pod families can join us for our Peace Assembly on Friday at 11:00.

Today was day two of our Sound Kreations dance residency.  This seven class residency (October 9,10,11,15,16,17,18) will culminate with an evening performance and learning walk on October 18.  The performance times are: Kindergarten, 5:30; Kindness Pod, 6:00; Joy Pod, 6:30; Peace Pod, 7:00; and Hope Pod 7:30. 

Pods will also have other examples of evidence of learning for Physical Literacy during the evening. 

Keep checking the blogs for more information. 

Beat Street (K-12)

We’ve combined Hip‐Hop, Stomp and Dub‐Step (Animation) dance styles to create an Urban dance experience that will have your whole school buzzing.

We explore the groove of Hip‐Hop, the sounds of Stomp and the electronic influences of Dub‐ Step!

Students will learn to balance the flow of robotic dance moves with the powerful precision of steppin’, while also building upon foundational hip-hop styles.

We’ll look at the influences London, LA and West Africa have had on these modern dance styles and learn to integrate the original steps of dance with the new expressions we’ve all come to love!

This voyage of kinesthetic expression is highly interactive, entirely approachable, and fun, fun, FUN!
