Bobcat Broadcast

Our classes have been working hard on creating a classroom mission statements. It is the basis that classrooms build their community and defines who they are as a classroom of learners. The words guide the students to ensure they know what is expected of them as a member of that classroom and holds them accountable for their actions. The video below show almost every classrooms' mission statement. You can see how each mission statement is different, but all of them are the result of student voice within their classroom.

Stay Well,

We're off to a great start in our STEAM classes this year! Students are already diving into some great projects, and we need your help! Our Maker Carts are always in need of some supplies to keep it stocked. While we have almost all of what the students need, there are some great additions and donations that we will gladly accept any time:

• empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls (We use SO many of these!)
• bottle caps
• buttons
• beads
• fabric scraps
• ribbon
• miscellaneous craft materials
• plastic recyclables (yogurt containers, medicine bottles, etc)
• anything else you think kids can be creative with!

Please send these items in at any time during the school year in a bag labeled STEAM. Your child can drop it off in our classroom or the office. Thank you so much for your help - we love seeing how creative our students can be!
