Winter Break!

Dear Parents,

We have had a great week that ended with a fabulous party. Thanks to all the parents and especially Dana and Paul, our grade reps, for planning, donating, and helping.

This week we have written reflections about our experiences at Glen Helen. Students wrote haiku poetry and other forms of writing. Students chose one piece to display on the bulletin board in the hallway.

Each class has worked on one part or another of the the Native American village project. Students are enjoying learning about the Ohio tribes. In groups they will focus on one tribe to research and build a village. They will then write reports and give oral presentations. They are gaining valuable skills by cooperating and creating together.

This will be our last newsletter written as a blog via Blogger. The school has adopted a new learning management system, Canvas. Starting January 6, all classroom notifications and calendar items will be communicated through Canvas. There was an email from the school explaining how to log in.

Starting in January, the color schedule is a little different from the beginning of the year. You will find a new color day schedule in your child's Friday folder.

Have an amazing break with your family!
