Ekaterina, Volume 15: December 1, 2014

Why do people move? What are the consequences of people moving? These questions surround our new theme, Where We Are... in Time and Place? or "On the Move". Our central idea will focus these questions: Human migration is a response to challenges, risks, and opportunities. Students will learn more about their family histories and the migration of peoples from across the world.

Our summative assessment, the Health Fair, was so fun and really exhibited what students learned and the connections they made. One parent comment was "The kids really knew their stuff. I asked them a question and they knew the answer, even though the information was not on their poster." Truly, the posters and student presentations demonstrated a level of depth of knowledge. Thanks to all the parents that come and support us. We celebrate our success with you!

These picture are just the parts that work together to create one magical learning experience!

Math has started with a bang! Estimating, graphing with line plots, frequency tables, and more will continue next week. 

Book presentations continue to impress us all. Thanks for those who are on-time and continue to come up with creative ways to hook us, like a bold statement or question. Also, a creative closing like a recommendation, or how the book changed your view of the topic or something else. 

The Elementary Drama presents Phantom Tollbooth this Thursday and Friday. Please come to support our students! Performances start at 5:00 p.m. and tickets cost 10,000 soum.
