"Clubbing!"

This message is all about the clubs!



Science Club for 4th and 5th grades-

We will meet every other Tuesday , beginning tomorrow, October 21. Meeting time is 3:15 to 4:15 pm. I plan to have as much hands-on activities and fun as we can. Full 100% attention from the students is going to be the key to how much we can accomplish each week. Once we get more settled, I will try to print up some of the experiments, so you can do them at home. Additionally, we will eventually write some basic lab reports, reporting our observations. This valuable skill will come in handy when test time rolls around!



Our first few meetings will focus on Kitchen Chemistry--using items found at home. I do not expect to be using "chemistry set" materials. SAFETY is the first concern, fun is second! Your child will be bringing home a "safety contract" for both of you to read, sign, and return to me. this is the first time a Science Club has been offered, and I'd like to make it a tradition!



NEEDED--colorless water and soda bottles, all sizes, but especially 1 liter and smaller . Please wash them out first, so any leftover juice or soda doesn't attract "little critters"! ;-)





MULTICULTURAL CLUB!

This is a club focused on learning the many parts of cultural traditions, and enjoying as many as possible! We will make crafts, food, and appreciate the musical and literary heritage of different countries and tribes around the world. If you have any unused craft or art materials (beads, twine, buttons, etc.) PLEASE send them along! If you have a skill you can teach (weaving, for example), I hope you are able to share this gift and teach us! That would be an amazing blessing!

Also, I would love to add to the classroom/club collection of folktales from around the world. If you have any you would like to donate or share, they may be dropped off any time. Either send them with your child, or if you are at school, drop by room 316. Thanks in advance!



Parents--none of these clubs can happen without your support and encouragement of your child to pursue the joys of learning new things! THANKS!
