October is here!  Wow, time is flying!  Things have been going well here at Etna! We are finishing up the election process for our first ever student council.  It is going to be awesome to have our students be a part of the decision making here at school.  We are also deep into preparations for our Veteran's day program which is right around the corner!

 

Did you know that Etna has a homeroom time? During that homeroom time, each classroom does somewhat the same thing. Two days a week, we focus on character education lessons around the 7 Habits of Happy Kids. On another two days, teachers hold morning meetings. This is a time for the students to get to know each other better, as well as the teacher. Time is spent forming the classroom family. Finally, on Fridays, we have STEM CHALLENGE FRIDAYS! These are spread over three weeks. On the first Friday, students are presented with a STEM challenge and they must plan how they will complete the challenge. On the second Friday, they complete the challenge and then on the third Friday they reflect. Then we start the cycle all of again!  Ask your child about these exciting opportunities each week!

As always, if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.
