STAR School K-2 Newsletter #6

Welcome back from Spring Break! Here are some announcements for the month of April. On Friday April 11, there will be a school field trip to the Leupp Parade. This will be a morning trip and we will be leaving S.T.A.R. at 9:00 a.m. On the morning of Thursday the 17th, Karen the librarian will be visiting our K-2 class for a special story-time and to drop off a new box of books for us. Friday, April 18th there will be no school for Spring Holiday. On April 23rd and 24th our school will be having visitors from Hawaii! This should be a wonderful cultural experience for our students. On April 29th, 30th and May 1st, our second grade students will be taking the Stanford-9 standardized test in the mornings. If you have any questions about any of these happenings or would like to be a parent-volunteer for any of them, please contact me at 606-7419.

Here are some photos I would like to share with you!

Have you seen our class written and illustrated book about when we cleaned up trash near the reservation line and put up a sign? Each student received a copy of our class book. Here are Alexus and Illiana holding our class sign.

Larry, J.W., Kevin and Vergil are making masks, Nicole paints, Katlynne is experimenting with pointillism and Brandon is doing sculpture out of marshmallows and toothpicks!

Here J.W., Chase, Kristen, Kevin, Vergil, Brandon, Alexus and Illiana are planting wildflower seeds.

Show and tell was fun for all the students. Here is Chase sharing his Fancy Dance outfit.

The students are writing books all about themselves. They paired up to trace each others shoes to use as a page in their books. Here is Joshua tracing Illiana’s shoe. Won’t it be neat to look back on how their sizes change when they get older?

Here is Brian collecting rocks that we will use to build a seating area outside of our classroom and our students working with the compost tumbler.
