Current students wrote a quick note to the new incoming students this week.  They either welcomed them to class next year or they said goodbye to the multiage class and told them what they would miss most.  These letters with drawings are posted outside the multiage classroom and will I will leave them there throughout the summer.

Not surprisingly, most students loved the 10 to 15 minute time we spent in the gym first thing in the morning. This proved to be a great class time to bond together and it helped students to get their energy out making them more able to focus on their work.  I hope to continue to do that next year on the days the gym is available.

It always surprises me what some of the highlights were.  Students really liked writing as we write a lot in the classroom.  These letters were done in one writing block with smiles on their faces and completed rather quickly, quite a difference from the beginning of the year.  Several students have been working on their class books and mentioned those were a highlight.

Others were more focused on the science arena and mentioned things such as experiments on friction and motion.  There was some talk about our reports on inventors and women in history and some of the research as being a favorite thing to do!  Math was mentioned as students were proud of their ability to do “harder math”.  

As I said earlier, I will leave these letters up throughout the summer so if you are in the school, you can drop down with your student to see them. 

If your child would like to visit the classroom towards the end of the summer, please feel free to call the school and we can arrange a time.  I have found that to help with those first day jitters.
