Dear Families, December 3, 2023

We had a fabulous field trip on Thursday! It was COLD, but we learned so much and was able to put our faith into action by taking care of God’s Creation by reclaiming an area that had the invasive blackberry bushes. Students pulled out the “hearts” of them. The salmon we studied can survive better without this invasive plant in their riparian! Thank you to all the wonderful parents that volunteered to walk, lead and hang out with us in the cold! 🙂

Speaking of salmon, we are going to be dissecting some salmon and creating salmon prints and we need parent volunteers on Tuesday afternoon, December 5th at 1:00! We will also have a Traditional Salmon feast/Christmas celebration with students on the following Wednesday, December 13th at 11:30. Families are encouraged to bring their family’s traditional Salmon or Christmas dish! If you would like to help set up, please come at 11:00. Go here to sign up for parent volunteers and celebration time.

Dear Families,

We had a wonderful time with our grandparents today! Below are just some of the pictures. Look at our class’s Facebook site for more pictures!

Thursday, November 30th, we are walking to and from Cornwall Park for our Salmon field trip, rain or shine! Please have your child/ren dress for the weather! They will also need a lunch they can carry. It will be stored at the field trip until we eat it.

After the break, I will be teaching the “Circle of Grace” curriculum required by the Archdiocese of Seattle to replace the “Touching Safely” curriculum that was required in the past. Fourth grade mostly focuses on Social Media and how to be safe in that arena. Let me know if you would like to know more about this or you would like to have your child sit out on these lessons.

I did not sent home your child’s Friday Folder due to using his/her papers during the conference next week. Speaking of conferences, your child is required to come. If you would like to have individual time, I would be happy to do that. Please indicate in the survey below. In order to prepare fully for the conferences, I need YOUR input as well. Please go here to fill out a survey giving me input on how you feel your child is doing for the beginning of this academic year. Please bring some non-perishables for the Human Food Chain (that will be on Monday) to your child’s conference! We are stockpiling in the foyer of the school! A list of what they really need is below!

They are also beginning chapter two of our religion books focusing on Eternal Truth given to us by God, our Creator.
