Message from Ms. Gengras in art!

Hiawatha artists have finally finished their Square1Art masterpieces. They have been working so hard, so it was time to create something exciting this week... model magic finger puppets! Although students could choose to make something else, most of them decided to make a fun finger puppet using mixed media. They had tons of materials to "shop for" and choose from. If students finished before art class was over, they drew a picture of their puppet character. Students had a blast and are eager to work with other types of clay in the coming weeks.

BUS CANCELLATIONS UPDATE


No RED bus on 3/27, 3/28, and 3/29

Students from Julie Furniss's class had their first interaction with a book in hand. They worked SO well in their partnerships and found ways to support each other while working together! I was SO impressed and proud!

Cold Weather Clothing Reminder

During the Winter months, please remember to send your student to school every day with the items listed below.

We go outside every day when the wind chill temperature has our "Feels like" temperature higher than zero degrees.

  • hat
  • pair of gloves or mittens
  • coat
  • snow pants
  • boots
  • change of clothes
  • indoor shoes

If students do not have boots and snow pants, they will still go outside but need to stay on paved areas of the playground during recess. This is done to keep them dry.

Please pack indoor shoes for your student to wear inside the school building. Wearing wet snow boots is not only uncomfortable but makes for wet floors, which can lead to injury.



Need Winter Clothing Items?


If you need assistance with obtaining winter gear, please contact Mrs. Grykien or Nurse Reyna. Health Office: (802) 857-7740.
