Important Spring ELP Information
Here are some things that are going on:
1) Second grade screening just concluded and parents should be getting notified of whether your child qualifies to take the full battery of the CogAT. This will be coming up between May 3rd-May 21st. You will be contacted by your child's home school ELP teacher to schedule a time to go into the school to take this. The only option is to take it in-person. If you do not want this, you can opt to have your child take the full battery next spring.
2) 3rd-5th grade students who were nominated by their teacher or parents to take the full battery of the CogAt are beginning to take these next week, April 26th - May 21st. Mann students will follow this schedule (if your child qualified, you have been contacted):

What is Happening in ELP?
3rd Grade ELP- Imagineering in a Box!
* writing a story for their land
* coming up with a theme for their land
* designing the layout for their land
* designing buildings for their land
* thinking about and designing the landscape and plant life for their land
* creating a collage of material references for the surfaces in their land
Students' imaginations have come alive and I am excited to see what they come up with as we explore sound development, graphics, taste & smell, and get into attraction design.
