Summer Newsletter #4
STILL ONE Month of Summer!
There is STILL TIME to take the Seawolf Summer Challenge!
BEGIN TODAY!
Every day:
1) Read for 20 to 30 minutes.
BUILDS critical thinking skills and increases language!
2) Sit outside for 10 minutes to listen, feel, and observe.
DEVELOPS observation skills and the capacity to have patience and inner calm.
3) Write/draw/label what you observe in your sit spot for 15 minutes.
CREATES connections to what is observed and wondered to bring curiosities to reality.
4) Connect your daily world with math concepts. (numbers, shapes, percents, fractions, problem solving, design, cooking, money, statistics...)
CONTEXTUALIZES why and how mathematics are a way of thinking, not just memorizing facts.
5) Use your Toolbox Tools at home.
EMPOWERS students to practice managing and understanding their feelings.
Use the Summer Kick-Off Weblink to explore and plan NEW summer activities.

Seawolf Day!
Monday, August 16h our school will have Seawolf Day! Pop by the school to CONNECT in our Multi-use room (MU), from 2:30-6:30pm. At this event, families will complete necessary paperwork, make contributions, have the opportunity to become a member of our Parent Teacher Association (PTA), buy spirit wear, and learn the name of your student’s teacher and room number.
New Student Orientation
If you have questions, the office will be open on July 26 to address questions via phone or email Mrs. Lunde, christina_lunde@crpusd.org, for a more immediate answer.
Project Based Learning at Home
This example seems really basic, however it's the idea that students document what they do so they know what they want to investigate next. Suddenly precision to measurement means something or reading the box to see the ingredients is important.
This process takes time and it becomes project based when the student is collecting their ideas in the process, making decisions about what they learn and developing a deeper understanding, even if it's the classic mac-n-cheese.
