No School!
Just a reminder that there is no school on Friday, November 15 and Monday, November 18. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
Kindness Week
We are celebrating Kindness Week at Graded! This morning, our entire school community gathered in the Athletic Center for our Kindness Kickoff and there are a range of activities planned this week in classrooms. Please encourage your child to perform “random acts of kindness!” Students should wear their blue bracelets all week and on Wednesday, we are asking all students to wear a blue shirt.
Parent Coffee: STEM in the LS
Please join us on Tuesday, November 19 at 8:30 am for our parent coffee. Graded has shifted its science curriculum from content-based learning to skills-based learning. The coffee will highlight how STEM is being integrated into the classroom and the new practices we're using in science. It will be a hands-on and engaging experience for all.
News from the Library
Create Bravely! Keeping the Inspiration Going!
Our students had such an amazing and inspirational time with Peter H. Reynolds, and so did many of our parents. Peter spoke at a parent coffee about how necessary the qualities he describes in his book are - things like empathy, creativity, bravery, balance, patience. He also challenged the parents there (and I pass this challenge on to all of you) to create and play WITH their children. Have a family art gallery with your work features, as well, as you model taking risks!
Peter ALSO had a wonderful, inspirational time, and sent this letter to share with all of you. If you haven't already, please take a look at the wonderful photos of his visit, with more added this week by the talented Angela Park.
