Talent Show details
This time of year we would be sending out notices about our upcoming talent show. Unfortunately, COVID had other plans, but I’m pleased to announce the show must go on. This year, the show will be held virtually using Flipgrid. This tool opens up many possibilities. You can either record your talent using the Flipgrid site or app, or you could take a video you already have and upload it. If you have an unbelievable video of you hauling in a huge walleye this summer submit it. We are excited to see your submission.
Flipgrid is a website/app that allows parents to upload videos directly into folders via a code. Parents will need to either download the app to their phone or go through the website using their email. I know some families may be uncomfortable about downloading another app or entering your email, but we have found this is the easiest way to do it. Videos must be no more than 90 seconds in length and must be submitted no later than Friday, March 12th at 3pm. Please make sure the videos are appropriate as this is a family show. We are excited about what students can come up with this year using these new tools.
How to enter a video:
1. Go to flipgrid.com or download the app
2. Join Code: Will be different for each grade level
a. Fifth Grade: henrickson1381
b. Fourth Grade: henrickson5398
c. Third Grade: henrickson2535
d. Second Grade: henrickson6466
e. First Grade: henrickson0557
f. Kindergarten: henrickson8060
Ice skating for grades 2-5 on Thursday/Friday through February 26th
Ice skating for grades 2-5 will start Jan 21st and run through February 26th every Thursday OR Friday, depending on your Physical Education day for those days. It will be during the normal PE time for your class.
Please see below for the days your child's class will be skating (weather permitting). Students are welcome to bring skates and helmets but no hockey sticks. If they want to bring their hockey gloves, that is fine. I do have some skates students can borrow. They are also welcome to just play in their boots.
Due to COVID restrictions, we can NOT have parents help tie skates this year. It's unfortunate, but we are thankful we can still skate!.
"A" day skating dates (Mrs. Ohren, Mrs. Olson, Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mezzenga, Mrs. Reed, and Mr. Jensen): Feb 26th.
"B" day skating dates (Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Mortenson, Mrs. Pfau, Mrs. Brahos, and Mrs. Twohig): Feb 25th.
If you have any questions please contact Amanda Kaldor at kaldora@fargo.k12.nd.us
