Family Newsletter and Iditarod Update

Dear Families,
Yesterday afternoon's Kid Iditarod Race was a huge success!  The weather cooperated and we even saw the sun as the children raced across our fields behind our school.  They worked so well together in their teams, completing all 10 check-points.  Thank you to those parents who took the time to join us and man the stations.  We could not have done this without you!
Here are some pictures I took.  more will follow as we compile the hundreds of pictures and videos we usually get from this event.




















The teachers on harmony also decided to extend the Iditarod Reading Logs for another week as many children felt inspired to finish more.  We sent home another packet with your child's Friday folder.

Next week in writing, the students will continue their work on African animals.  We will continue our writing conferences and the children will finish their covers for their published work.  We will also start building our representations of the habitats. Stay tuned for more information and pictures.

Next week in technology news, we will also start our google slides about our African animals.  We will be able to work on these from home as well (for those who want to) as they are linked inside our emails as google apps.

Have a great weekend.
Regards,

Maria
