November/December Enrichment

We finished up our cookbooks for 4th and 5th enrichment and we finished our STEM units on food for 2nd and 3rd grade. In November and December, we will be doing a unit on Japan and then also Christmas around the World. The students will get to pick projects of interest to work on during this unit. We will also be working on Lego Robotics as part of our STEM. On December 3rd, I need enrichment students to help sell our cookbooks at the church services. We will need to be there from 8:45am until about 1pm. Of course, kids will be signing up for hour shifts so they do not have to be there all morning. The last week before Christmas break, I will invite parents to come at the end of the day to see their Japan projects and also participate in our Christmas around the World presentations. Please stay tuned for the dates.

I have communicated to both classes the need to be humble and sensitive about what we do in class. We do not want other students to feel badly that they are not doing the various projects we will do in enrichment. Your students have the privilege and opportunity to challenge themselves in different ways and we want to make sure they are not "advertising" that privilege. If you can encourage them to be sensitive to others, that would be great. They will have wonderful opportunities to be leaders and actually involve their peers (who are not in the class) in some of our projects. 2nd/3rd grade Enrichment Played ice breaker games Introduced our "food" unit and the milk-fed pumpkin we will be watching grow. Also introduced the long-term project of building a worm bin. Next week, we will be researching th...
