Thank you for all of the delicious and wonderful contributions to our feast! It was a lovely way to come together as a community and share food, stories, and gratitude. The students worked together to set up and organize all of the food and welcomed friends from different classrooms into their communities. A special thank you to all who came and cleaned up after the feast. We would have been here all night if it was not for your help!
In the Classroom: Last week, we wrapped up the study of the composition of the Earth and now are moving into the study of the stars and the life cycle of the star. Students are also creating biographies of famous peacemakers from around the world for a classroom book. In the closing weeks of the semester we will be focusing on sky stories and constellations as well as gearing up for the Geography Fair. This event will be on December 13 from 2-3pm. Families are welcome to attend. Please help your student work on their project at home so that they are prepared to present.
Winter Weather Advisory: As the temperature drops, many children are arriving at school without jackets, hats, boots, or other cold weather gear. Please remind your children that they are required to wear jackets, hats, and gloves or mittens when temperatures are below freezing and must have outdoor shoes or boots. If your child does not have the gear they need, please let us know and we will work to provide what is needed.
Finally, an update from the Critter Cash Committee:
Dear UE Families,
The last Critter Cash Committee bake sale was a great success, and we are hoping to keep our pets healthy and well-fed over the winter with another sale. Also, we have added some new pets to our UE critter family: two guinea pigs in Little Elk!
This sale will be held Friday, December 15th, from 3:15-4:00pm in the Adolescent building (exact location TBA). If you would like to attend, we ask that you please pick your child up as usual and walk them over to the other building.
Students are invited to make crafts and/or bake treats at home to donate to our sale; we ask that they include ingredients of the treat. Participation is optional and proceeds from the sale will be shared among the UE classrooms.
Our students and pets thank you for generosity and support!
Best,
Critter Cash Committee
