Meeting with Families

What a joy it is to be able to sit down together and talk about joys and concerns around education and the students in our classes!

I truly enjoyed meeting with all that could attend the Parent Teacher Conferences.

Thank you for the continued communication as we work together to help your children become their best selves.

It is an honor to be on this team together as we work to help them develop confidence, wonder, creativity, compassion, and knowledge as they continue to interact with their world and see their ability to have an impact.

Have a wonderful day.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions, joys, or concerns!

Ms. Tuttle

Outdoor Classroom Day

Outdoor Classroom Day!

Part of today was spent outside, studying out environment.

We made observations related to weather and climate, did some creative writing, dug into field guides, and experienced the joy of leaf rubbings!!

Students developed a deeper understanding of some of their local trees, and recorded their observations in a variety of formats.
