Today was Stable Reveal Day! Don't forget to ask your child about their new stable assignment and look for additional information on the school website and Facebook. We will celebrate our stables by wearing our new bracelets and as much of our color as possible on Monday, September 30th. This is certain to be an exciting day at Head Elementary!!!
OUR KIDS TEACHING KIDS (KTK) PROGRAM STARTS THIS THURSDAY DURING SCHOOL!
In the KTK program, students with skills teach others how to do their skill. The cost of attendance is an item that can be donated to children in need. For instance, a pair of new mittens, a gently used coat, canned goods, diapers. Anything that can be shared with a local charity that benefits children. Students bring their charitable donation to the media center and receive a pass to attend the clinic during their recess. Our first class on Thursday, Oct 3rd. will be INTRODUCTION TO MINECRAFT. (The creative/educational version of Minecraft) It is open to all
3rd graders who bring in a charitable item. Many students are at work perfecting other skills they are going to teach. Next up will be a cheer/dance date TBA. Students are choreographing a dance they will teach to others. Our robot will be programmed to do the same dance. A full schedule will be available soon, 3rd-5th grade students can be thinking about a skill they may want to share, and what charitable item they may want to bring to make the world a better place. Hope to see lots of 3rd graders on Thurs Oct 3rd.
