Musical Explorers Field Trip
We will be headed out to the Musical Explorers field trip on Tuesday afternoon. A free program, Musical Explorers builds basic music skills as students learn songs from different cultures and reflect on their own communities. After focusing on three musical genres each semester, in-person concerts allow students to “meet” the professional musicians that have guided them on their musical journeys through the Georgia Lowcountry and beyond!
Festival of Lights
Learning Community Wishlist
We have added items for the classroom to the Amazon wishlist. The ribbons, craft supplies, and items for the guinea pigs should be turned in asap, so we can use them immediately. The other items on the list are less pressing. Please click here to access the list.
Personal Timelines
We have been learning about different kinds of timelines. Some students have begun working on their own personal timelines in class. This project is part of our History curriculum and aims to help students learn more about how time unfolds and how they can begin to view their own life in the context of the time that has passed since they were born. Prior to this project, they learned about different ways to measure time, including days, weeks, months, and years.
The book fair will take place in the Ellis Media Center from December 1-7, 2023.
If you would like to shop with your student, the book fair will be open after school until 4pm. On Thursday, December 7th, the book fair will be open after school until 5:30pm, which is when the Festival of Lights will begin.
Visit the Ellis Book Fair website to explore the digital flyer, add money to your student's eWallet account, and shop the online book fair (starting Dec. 1st).
