Shoe Boxes & Celebration of Learning

We are going to be starting an animal research project! One of the components of this project is that the students are going to be using a shoe box, and using paint and clay, they are going to recreate the habitat for the animal that they have chosen. Students need to bring in a shoe box by May 20th. If you have any extra shoe boxes that you would like to donate please send those as well.

Celebration of Learning

Please join us on Friday May 24^th from 1:00-3:00 for our school wide Celebration of Learning. This will be an open house format where you will have the time to explore, ask questions and learn from your child. Students will take charge of much of the exploration and teachers will be present all afternoon to join in the celebration. Please keep in mind that this is not a parent/teacher conference, but rather a time to celebrate your child’s learning this year. 

Viewing student projects during the afternoon is a wonderful way to showcase students’ unique talents and interests and is a chance for us to celebrate the special learning culture we have created together at Copperfield School.

We look forward to enjoying this celebration with you and your children.
