January 6 Wawaloam Updates and Information

Dear Wawaloam School Community, 

Happy New Year to everyone! I know that 2017 will be a year filled with growth, excitement, and learning! We are all back in our typical routines after what I hope were wonderful holidays for everyone. My favorite part is following a slower pace for a few days and enjoying the time with my family. 

SCIENCE! 

The New Year brings us many new opportunities for learning including new Science Kits! Ask your children about what they are learning in Science! Kindergarteners have started with brand new science kits on Motion. Grade 1 is exploring Sound and Light and Grade 2 is learning about Solids and Liquids. We will have these kits until March 8th and I would encourage you to ask your child all about the exciting information they are learning about. If you would like more information about the specific learning topics, you can look at the Gems-Net Website and click the grade your child is in for the kits they will explore this year.

PLEASE CONSIDER FILLING OUT THE YELLOW SURVEY THAT CAME HOME THIS WEEK. WE WILL REVIEW THESE AS PART OF OUR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT TEAM AND YOUR FEEDBACK WILL HELP US CONTINUE TO GROW AND IMPROVE. 

Please tell your friends that Kindergarten Registration for the 2017-18 school year will begin January 24-February 23 on Tuesdays-Thursdays from 10:00-2:00. Special arrangements can be made by calling the office at 295-8808. 

At Wawaloam School, we will continue to monitor attendance closely and want to work with you if you are struggling to get your children to school on time. The beginning of the day is such an important part of feeling ready and organized for children.  The morning routine helps set the tone for the day and is an integral part of community building in the classroom. We just want to let you know that we are always available to help in any way we can! 

DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN? 

Hoping you are all ready for the snow we are anticipating for the morning! If you build snowmen, send pictures to melissa_marino@ewg.k12.ri.us and we will print them for all of the students to admire on Monday! 

Enjoy the weekend~ !
