Greetings Grewenow Families,

We are excited to share that we will be hosting Virtual Summer School this summer for all students entering grades 1 through 5. Students will have live or recorded instruction in Literacy and Math using specialized Summer School Curriculum that is engaging & personalized for your student. In addition, classes will meet with their assigned summer school homeroom teacher daily for additional group activities. The bulk of summer school instruction will take place Mondays – Thursdays from June 22 – July 23 with Fridays reserved for teachers to schedule virtual appointments with individual students and small groups.

As in past years, we will be partnering with Vernon & Southport Elementary schools. Registration is open now at this link (be sure to click on the Grewenow, Southport, Venon site) and you may register now through June 1 to reserve your student’s spot. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me at 262-359-6251 / jsellenh@kusd.edu. I hope your student(s) will be able to join us this summer - I recommend this unique opportunity for all students entering grade 1-5 - and I wish you all a great evening. Take Care!

Grewenow Elementary is fortunate to have two Speech-Language Pathologists to serve those students who have speech and language needs identified through the IEP process.

This week, in Early Education, students will be learning all about bugs! We will look at what makes a bug an insect, learning about how bugs move and what bugs look like! As the weather gets warmer, this would be a great time to get outside and explore some bugs in your yard!! See if your child can recognize the bugs from the stories and videos shared in this study!

Fun PE Activities at Home:

Multiple PE activities to try this week at home either by yourself or with a friend/family member. Be creative in what you use if you don't have the same equipment at home as what you see in the video. Have Fun and Stay Safe !!

Fifth grade is doing a virtual field every Friday starting tomorrow, May 15th.
Here’s the link to the first one.

Nickelodeon sent their Slime in space for astronauts to perform experiments. Then kids (in the video) perform the experiment (on Earth) to see the differences.

Mrs. Becker would like to give a BIG shout out to our Reading Programs( L.L.I and SIPPS, which are Fountas and Pinnel) as they have stepped up and placed resources (books and manuals) for online use during this unfortunate time. This has helped to create lessons which can be shared on Google Meet and Classroom.

Our teams at Grewenow are working hard together! They have answered technical questions, and offered support and guidance.

Mrs. Beecher provided this link to our students to help them use the select-to-speak on their Chromebooks.
