Announcements & Events
EL Night is February 7th @ 6:30-8pm Required for Fourth Graders. If you have a scheduling conflict, please let me know ASAP. What is EL Night? Named after EL Education, EL Night is a long standing City View tradition of celebrating learning. Each crew showcases their high quality final product or performance as well as their process and educational journey. It is our biggest event of the year and we are very proud to celebrate our learning! Why? EL Night gives parents and other visitors a better understanding of our school community and our program. It allows students to feel a great sense of pride while sharing their learning process and their high quality work with their guests. Who? We aim for 100% participation from our students and families. Research shows that parental involvement in schools helps students achieve more and helps schools thrive. Siblings, grandparents, family guests as well as community members are all invited. When and where? Feb 7, 2018 6:30-8:00pm. The evening will begin right at 6:30pm with an introduction in the Multipurpose Room in Building 4. Then families will be invited to walk through the school and view and interact with the students and their work. | Crew Kindness* (Valentine's Day) On Wednesday February 14th the Fourth Grade Crew will celebrate "Crew Kindness Day" we will focus on collaboration, activities to promote kindness, exchange cards (optional), and create friendship bracelets. Please note the traditional exchanging of valentines is optional in fourth grade. Please encourage your student to write "kindness cards" to their crew, acknowledging something they appreciate about EACH crew member as part of their homework. The goal is for each student to write a thoughtful sentence about each of their crew members (including Pebbles). Sentence Stem Ideas: I appreciate __________ about you because ________. Thank you for _________________________________. I like ______ about you because ____________________. In the afternoon on Wednesday February 14th, we will have a community snack. If you are interested in helping to DONATE healthy snacks (apples, carrots, celery, clementines, graham crackers, etc) please let me or Melinda know. |
