Parent Conferences Oct 31-Nov 3!
Parent conferences are scheduled for November 2-4 and students will have half days on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday that week. However, due to a previously scheduled wedding-related conflict Ms. Katie will not be at school on Friday, November 4th. To ensure that everyone has an opportunity to meet, we will schedule conferences Monday through Thursday in the evening hours. If you are able to meet with us Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday we would greatly appreciate your flexibility! Anyone who has not registered for a conference by October 26th will be automatically registered for an available conference slot.
Expedition Launch!
We will launch our Jamestown expedition on Thursday, October 13th! We will investigate this problem:
Jamestown is listed as a “Historic Site at Great Risk”. How can we capture and share the voices needed to tell the complete story of Jamestown in order to preserve this important piece of our nation’s history?
Students will take on the role of anthropologist through a study of the three cultural groups present at Jamestown and will also take on the role of historian in preserving and retelling the history of the first permanent settlement.
