These are pictures from our crew scavenger hunt. We are now working on becoming experts on Schoolcraft using the tools we found in the treasure chest.

Hello Kinder Families!

Kinder Crew has been focusing on using the Design Principles every day. We are critiquing our big book drawings and creating final drafts. Our finished book will include our drawings of the Design principles, photographs and our recorded voices. We are also working on individual books about how we are of service at home, at school and in our community. On Monday, we received a new message from the mystery person with another mission. It stated that on Friday we will be going to Havenwood Care Center to read with some of the residents. We each received a book to read so are working very hard to read the words, or retell the story using pictures.

The crew looks forward to sharing their hard work and a few treats with their families and friends at our Knowing Where You're Going Celebration.

Parents, don't forget to send mittens, hats and winter coats now that the weather is getting cold!

Stay Warm, Sarah

Please welcome Sarah Wilson as our new Kindergarten teacher! Sarah graduated from BSU after a full academic year internship with SLC's 8th grade class. This is her second year teaching elementary school at a charter school. Her first year at Grand Marais' Great Expectations was a wonderful learning experience. Sarah currently lives in Bemidji with her husband, Scott, one-year-old son, Finn, and dog, Challah. They enjoy romping in the woods, exploring under rocks, and creating masterpieces in the kitchen. Sarah is ecstatic to be back at SLC, and can't wait for school to begin!
