Dear Elementary Families
We have a historical practice at Great River to provide snack for lower and upper elementary students. Generosity of families has been essential to sustaining this practice over the years. This year, we have a grant that is supporting the elementary program expansion, and we have recently been informed that a classroom snack cannot be funded by our grant.
Due to this adjustment in funding, we will have to adjust the scope of the snack we can fund in our classrooms. Budget for maximum reimbursement will be set at $30 per week. If you are able to donate your snack contribution, that is sincerely appreciated by the school
The goal of classroom snack is to bind the community together through shared responsibility for practical life.
Examples of snack are simple items: and one of: sliced oranges, crackers, string cheese, etc. (This is an adjustment from earlier communicated examples.)
This past shortened week the students were busy catching up on their work and beginning new projects. First years continue to work on cursive handwriting and the decimal system along with identifying their geometric shapes. Second years are busy working on adjectives, a variety of math activities and the fundamental concepts of geometry. Many third years are busy working on multiplication, roles of the adjectives and right-angled triangles.
We are excited to begin our reading groups during literature time this week. Please start a conversation with your student about what they are working on. If yo can sign up to volunteer, please click on this: www.SignUpGenius.com/
Thank you,
