Oh the Places You’ll Go by Melinda Rousse

Melinda Rousse — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:40:17 +0000

We are gearing up for Dr. Seuss’ birthday by reading Oh The Places You’ll Go. The children are doing shoe rubbings with a note on the back explaining a neat project. In short, families can send these shoe rubbings to a friend or family member near or far by mail (or scan and email these days) for a fun way to connect. Please bring any correspondence from your child’s shoe rubbings to school so we can talk about them! I know many families are spread out (just from talking with our class I hear about friends and family in Michigan, California, Idaho, the Oregon coast), so take advantage of this school/book connection.

By the way your children LOVE telling us about the community trees they are making. Today, we started asking if children would be interested in bringing their giant trees to the circle to introduce the class to the people who care for them. Doing a few each day, we are letting each child have a turn and choice to present.

Baby food jars are in great need by a few classrooms. That means we need lots! Please send your clean and dry baby food jars into the preschool and we’ll share with the other classrooms:) I know it’s not easy to wash these little jars and take them all the way to school, but we so appreciate it.

Cutting Projects: We have 3 cutting projects to send home if anyone is interested!

P4C, LiD and…L&C by Sheri Dunton

Dear Families,

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow evening at our CCS Primary Pirates’ music program! All the pirates need to be in their classrooms by 6:15 in order to be ready and in place to take the stage at 6:30. After the program, students will return to their classroom where they will be dismissed to their families. Arrrrg!

So, what have we been up to, aside from some pirate fun? Our adventure with Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery has taken us around waterfalls in a grueling and thorny portage, through vast plains of buffalo and prairie dogs, into villages of friendly natives as well as a few close scrapes. After a bone-chilling winter in the Dakotas, we found there was no all-water-route to the Pacific. We nearly starved crossing the Rocky Mountains before meeting the Nez Perce. We learned to make our dugouts canoes by burning and were finally back in the water (with the current this time) heading for the Columbia River. We have discovered many fascinating animals along the way and recorded them for our journals.

Another of the many ways we are unique at CCS Primary is our new P4C (Philosophy for Children) program. All our classrooms have started reading the text “Elfie” after taking some time to practice group discussion and thinking together. We have collected a few video clips here to let you in on the action! More to come…

All our best,

The CCS Primary Team
