Hello Minnesota River Families!
This week has been another exciting and busy week in the Minnesota River classroom. The students have been working on many different activities and are working together to make our community stronger.
A few reminders and requests:
Conferences are coming up on November 16th and 17th. If you have not signed up, please refer to email from the Great River Office with the link and sign up today
We are doing our student celebrations on Mondays instead of Fridays. Please plan to bring a small snack the Monday after the scheduled date of your student's celebration. Please refer to the student celebration document here.
We are in need of more small paper plates and napkins for snack and if you have a two-cup tea service you could donate, we would like to start offering tea to our classroom guests.
The third years have been eagerly preparing for the arrival of our new classroom pet, a Guinea pig. It will be a few more weeks before we are able to buy the pet using our pet grant, but we are in need of a large shelf-like space to house
the cage. If you have access to or are looking to get rid of a large shelf of some kind, please let us know. It may work for our needs!
Lastly, a small file box to keep hanging files is needed to house our reading files.
Please consider a donation of any of these items if you can!
Academic Notes:
First Year Parents, this week the children will be making a timeline of their lives. It would be very helpful to have photographs, one per year starting as a baby (year 0). Please send these to school with your child in a labeled envelope by Friday, November 10. Thank you!!!
