Activist presentations & Transfer
Activist presentations & Transfer
We started our day with the 4th graders presenting their activist research projects that they crafted last week. I was so engrossed in their presentations that I forgot to take photos! Luckily, you can check out their work on their Book Creator Portfolios.
After Choice Time, the students started to brainstorm how they can apply what they have learned about ethics and activism to their own lives. I told them a story of how when I was 5th grade, I mobilized the voices of the other 5th graders and met with our school principal to expand the 5th graders' freedom in the school cafeteria. Even if it is in a small way and even if you are young, you can stand up against injustices and make the world a more just place.
GATE Conferences
GATE Conferences
I don't have the capacity to have conferences with all 100 of my students' families, but if you have any questions for me about my observations from the first 7-8 GATE classes, feel free to shoot me an email or arrange a time to chat on the phone/video chat. You can also ask your student to show you around their Book Creator Portfolio entries from this year.

I know that it can be annoying to get even more emails, especially from a school your child only attends once a week. However, we need to keep you on the Lowell parent communication list because that is how we efficiently communicate to parents in the case of a school-wide emergency. Our admin assistant, Sam, is really good about only sending out a couple school-wide messages per month, so feel free to just delete those non-emergency emails as they arise.
Consider Donating to the GATE Classroom
Consider Donating to the GATE Classroom
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), Rubiks Cubes ($12), and a hand-held vacuum cleaner! I just put in a grant application to get 6 iPads (and accessories) for our classroom, so I will cross my fingers! Please click on the link below to donate to my Boise Foundation Account.

IT WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE RIGHT AWAY!
