It is hard to believe that we are already beginning our second semester of learning at Aquila. Students are demonstrating their abilities as open-minded, creative, and reflective thinkers. We have had the opportunity to gather, monthly, for grade-level assemblies. At each assembly, we take time to discuss current IB units of inquiry, honor students' voices, questions and concerns and share and celebrate students' talents. It is a time that brings us so much joy!
Please see the picture of a fourth grade student and the amazing puppet she made out of foam, cardboard, felt and tape! This is just one example of the true creative expression that our students share with their classmates!
We cannot wait to share all the wonderful learning your students have done during this first semester during February Family Connect Times on Thursday, February 17 and Friday, February 18. A special AQ Communicator was sent this week with information about how to sign up. Please click here for that information. In addition, progress reports went home in student backpacks today. During Family Connect times, you will have the opportunity to talk more about student learning observations.
Important Dates:
Friday, February 4 - TOMORROW! No School
Thursday, February 10 - School Field Trip to MS for Musical
