Week of February 15

It was career day here for Spirit Week!  Here is a picture from this morning, after many new employees arrived.  They looked great!


Tomorrow is theme day, and we are trying to work with the theme of lumberjacks or loggers.  There is a lot of flannel in our future, and maybe some pretend tools.

Week of February 15

The week of February 15 will be Spirit Week at SATEC!  These are the themes of each day:
Monday: dress patriotically in red, white, and blue, or in stars and stripes, etc.
Tuesday: find someone to be a twin with (dress similarly)
Wednesday: "when I grow up..." What will you dress like when you grow up?  PLEASE remember that this is the day that our learning community goes to the Flynn Theater!
Thursday: our learning community's theme is "dress like a lumberjack/logger"
Friday: 5th grade needs to dress in something BLUE


Here are some recent photos of student work:
the first moccasins are done -- and cozy!

 Students made patterns of their feet, cut out the pattern in fleece, and sewed around most of the edges.

A sewing machine was used to finish off the heel area, and...voila!
 

Students make the frame of our easily-moved teepee.

Afterwards, they draped the "hide" over the frame.

It comfortably fits 3 students, but it's big enough for 8 fifth graders!

Week of February 1

Students have received new forms for the next Jay Peak trip.  We would like the forms returned, completed, as soon as possible, with a deadline of February 17.

February 17 also is the day when our learning community has a field trip to the Flynn to see a stage production of the book The Giver.  We will leave after morning announcements, and we should be back by lunchtime that day.
