The Weekly Newsletter
Medical Questionnaire
If you have not already done so, please fill out this medical questionnaire so that Nurse Chris can have it on file for your child. It is important that the school has up to date records for each child.
Science Club
A parent has so graciously offered to host an OPTIONAL weekly science club which will be focused on a turtle that has been adopted for our class! The club will meet every Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. via a link posted in the "Announcements" section in The Learning Community course on the itsLearning platform. It's name is Rutt and here is some information about it!
About Ruck
Species: Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle (Lepidochelys kempii)
Age: Juvenile
Sex: Unknown
Arrival: May 27, 2020
Weight: 2.05 kg / 4.52 lbs
Found: Cumberland Island, GA
Rescued by: Georgia Department of Natural Resources
Why Ruck is here: Ruck arrived to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center after being attacked by a predator. The predator took a large chunk out of Ruck's neck; we estimated that about 30% of the neck was missing upon arrival. Ruck had lost a lot of blood and needed a transfusion. A healthier patient was used as Ruck's donor. Ruck still has a long way to go before recovering, but we are hopeful he/she will be released back to the wild someday.
Projects and Activities
If you wish for your child to work collaboratively with another student on an activity/project that is listed in itsLearning, please fell free to do so! We encourage collaboration in the classroom when we are face-to-face, and would love to see it in the virtual arena as well! We have had some students collaborate over Zoom on some activites and it turned out great! They recorded the Zoom meeting and uploaded the recording to their assignment. You may also upload images of your results!
