Calling All Crayons!
PLEASE DONATE YOUR OLD AND USED CRAYONS!
Northland Pines School District is participating in the Crayon Initiative!
The Crayon Initiative is a non-profit organization that collects old crayons and re-manufactures them into new crayons. These new Crayons are donated to Children's hospitals around the United States. Not only does this keep non-biodegradable wax out of landfills, it repurposes them for a wonderful cause.
All shipping costs will be paid for by the Recycling Club and other school programs.
What You Can Do Now:
Please collect any old crayons and bring them to your teacher or drop them off in the boxes at the front office.
The crayons DO NOT have to be organized, sorted, peeled or changed in any way. All crayons can be donated!
Collection Dates:
Friday, May 20th
Last Collection Day: Thursday, May 26th
Thank you for supporting this wonderful cause and brightening a child's day!

Dear Family Member:
This week our class focused on recycling. We talked about ways we can reuse what we already have to make the world a cleaner place to live.
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we've been practicing.
Word Workout
- Words to Know: homographs You and your child will use the vocabulary words to tell about recycling something to make something new.
- Spelling/Phonics: Inflectional endings –ed, -ing, -s You will read the words on the list to your child. Then your child will tell you how the word’s spelling changed when the ending was added.
Comprehension: point of view
Together you will read about a boy who finds a great solution to a problem. You will help your child identify the character’s point of view.
Envisions Math
Science
This week in science we started our unit on geology which we’re calling “The Birth of Rocks.” We learned about volcanoes and where they exist in the world. Below I’ve included a link to some amazing pictures of active volcanoes. Show these to your child; it’s guaranteed to be a conversation starter about what they learned!
