Enrichment Clusters (2nd through 5th)
This week, Intermediate and Senior students will identify enrichment topics that they are interested in. Students will be placed in an enrichment cluster based on their interest and learning style. You will receive a letter indicating the enrichment cluster your child will be in (stating the topic and teacher).
Last year, enrichment cluster projects were showcased at STEAM night (e.g. Terrapin Nesting Project for Intermediates, Hunger projects for Seniors). The goal is to have enrichment projects showcased again this year!
Scholastic Bookfair
The Normandy Park School Winter Book Fair was a success! Sales exceeded the HSA's goal of 3,000 dollars. Thank you to our Book Fair co-chairs, Kristin Stuek and Marlene Eickmeyer. In addition, a special thanks to all parent volunteers who came in throughout the week to help out. Your time and support is extremely valued and appreciated!
Pete the Cat made an appearance at the Book Fair! Our students loved it! Many students asked me in the hallway if I wore the costume. Here is picture-proof that I was not Pete the Cat!
Coding at NPS
During the week of December 9th, schools around world will celebrate computer science education by participating in the Hour of Code!
Mrs. Gilson has already been preparing our students through developmentally appropriate and engaging coding activities. During computer class, students will continue to explore coding activities.
