Thank you to all of you who came out to support us as we led the All School Meeting last week! The students did an excellent job and I was very proud of them.

The paperwork for the Winter Voyage is due today! If you haven't turned in the paperwork for Snow Mountain yet, please do so. Let me know if you need me to resend the paperwork to you via email.

Our Poetry Reading Night will be next Wednesday, February 8th at 5:30. I hope that all of you can join us for this special night when the students will be sharing one of their poems about community. We have worked so hard on these poems and can't wait to share them with our families. All family is welcome to attend. The event will be held in our classroom and refreshments will be served. Chevy will be sending out an invitation to sign up to help bring these refreshments. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good afternoon!

Our Crew is leading the All School Meeting this Wednesday, January 25th. The students have worked really hard, preparing to be ready. We would love to invite all of you to watch us lead this meeting. The All School Meeting will begin at 9:00. Can't wait to see you there!

Our Winter Voyage is March 14th and 15th with a Day of Rest on Friday, March 16th. Last week I emailed you the paperwork that needs to be returned for all students to attend our voyage. This paperwork MUST be returned by next Monday, January 30th. Please let me know if you have any questions.

We have been working hard on our Poetry genre study lately. In addition to writing acrostic poems, we have learned how to write descriptive haiku poems. Our next step is to take what we learned about community through our Expedition, and write poetry about community. We will be sharing these poems with our families on February 8th at our Poetry Reading Night. I will send more details about this night soon.

Monday, January 9th

Welcome back! I hope you all had fun and relaxing Winter Breaks. I certainly enjoyed the time with my family!

I sent an email home last week asking for chaperones for our Winter Voyage. The dates are Wednesday, March 14-Thursday, March 15, with our Day of Rest on Friday, March 16. I need 4 male chaperones and 3 female chaperones. Thank you to those of you who have already volunteered. I am still one male chaperone short, so if you can help our Crew, we would all greatly appreciate it! Please let me know as soon as possible. I will be notifying chaperones if they have been chosen by the end of the week. Please email me if you have any questions.

Our Crew will be leading the All School Meeting on Wednesday, January 25th. This is a chance for our Crew to be in front of the whole school, hosting this meeting. The meeting will be at 9:00 that morning. I encourage all of you to come support us as we take on this exciting endeavor! Please let me know if you have any questions.
