Lower School Update - March 3, 2020

Coronavirus

Please be sure you check your emails from our superintendent, Richard Boerner. He will keep you updated on the coronavirus as it relates to Graded.

Community C Assembly

Please join us for the Community C Assembly on Thursday, March 5 at 8:15 am in the auditorium. Our students have some wonderful learning they can’t wait to share with you.

Learning Labs

For the next couple of weeks, the Lower School teachers and assistants will be engaged in Learning Labs.  This means that we will observe each other teach lessons in the classrooms. It’s an opportunity to see the strategies our colleagues are using but also to share best practices.  This is just one way that we continually develop as educators. This year, we are concentrating on math instruction in the homeroom classrooms, specialist teachers will be focusing on their specific subjects of instruction.

Ms. Keane's Updates

Hey Parents,
We have been enjoying our time back at school. We have done mapping in social studies, experiments in science, lab report writing, and reviewing reading skills of fluency. Check out some pictures below of all our learning.

Using google-earth to discover continents, rivers, and lakes.

Middle School Students showing us their own writing with practicing fluency. 

Using the science HUB during our first experiment for landslides. 

Then our students got to enjoy lots of events like our field trip, band performance, our community assembly, and our carnival assembly. Fun photos to show the experience. 

Finally here is our swimming schedule. Please make sure students have their swimming clothes on PE days.
