A couple students rated their recess experiences as pretty low today, so next week, we will work as a class to strategize how to help everyone in the GATE class work toward having a fun and carefree recess experience. It can be hard to be out of your element, but this is a huge growth opportunity!
This Thursday is Lowell's Back to School Night. Since I have so many students, I can't offer a polished presentation about curriculum and expectations for everyone, but you are welcome to use it as a second Sneak Peek, where you can see the classroom and say hello if you weren't able to attend last week's Sneak Peek. Back to School Night is for adults only, so we will honor that for the GATE Sneak Peek Round 2.
WHO: GATE Parents/Guardians
WHEN: 6-7PM, Thursday August 25th (This time frame is different than I shared on Instagram!)
WHERE: Lowell Elementary Room 203
WHY: To say hello, ask basic questions about the program, set up a time to meet later to discuss specific student needs
As we begin our school year and face new challenges, we are seeking new ways to enrich your child's education both in person and virtually. Our current wish list includes a set of classroom cameras (~$100 ea), our own set of 6 classroom Tello drones ($150 ea) that we don't have to share, Rubiks Cubes ($12), and a hand-held vacuum cleaner! The 6th graders will also be going on THREE field trips this semester, and we will need one of the bus trips (~$100) covered by Foundation donations. Please click on the link below to donate to my Boise Foundation Account. [LOWELL/GATE/GABRIELLI,AUDREY]
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY DONATED!
IT WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE RIGHT AWAY!
(I'll start posting as soon as I have confirmed which students from each school are on the No Photo List. Thanks for your patience!)
