K-5 Summer Math & Language Arts CAHOOTS
The ISD 196 Community Education department is pleased to again be offering CAHOOTS, a K-5 summer math and language arts correspondence workbook program. The program is portable, flexible and designed to closely match our district curriculum through an engaging and reflective approach to learning. After completing each lesson and checking answers online, students complete an assignment reflection and send to a CAHOOTS Buddy who will send a written response back. Cost is $45. Final registration is due March 29. Sample workbook pages can be viewed at ce.district196.org/enrichyouth. Please see the attachment below for more information.

We have begun our Creativity Unit in Preschool. In this unit, children will have the opportunity to plan, create, evaluate, and share ideas. We have learned how to work together to create murals, how to use instruments to create music, and how to create with movement and dancing. Our dramatic play area has been a construction site and will soon be a theater, complete with working keyboard and karaoke machine. Families have been donating a variety of craft and other supplies that we lovingly call “junk”. The children have been making amazing creations using this junk. We have seen purses, rockets, jewelry, and so much more. On March 14th, we had a wonderful Parent/Child Activity Day with Anna Dutke, outdoor Preschool teacher from Oak Ridge. She led families on a scavenger hunt, read us a book, and then helped guide us in exploring our outdoor space. Families were able to explore with magnifying glasses and pinchers, build stick forts, and practice shaving sticks using vegetable peelers. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.
