Week of January 14th

Monday, January 14^th will be rotation day 4. 

          This week we will be starting a project on mammals from Pennsylvania.  This will be an in-class project.  Students will NOT have to do any work outside of the classroom. 

          Students will work in small groups to research their chosen animal.  After reading information about their animal they will be taking notes on a graphic organizer.  They will then take these notes and turn it into a Google Slides presentation.  The group will present the project to their classmates.  I am anticipating that this project will take us until the end next week to complete, but may take longer. 

North Schuylkill Elementary is very excited to host the Boosterthon Fun Run again this year!!  A postcard was sent home with your child today.  Please take a moment to register your child on funrun.com. Thank you in advance for all of your support!!  Below is a letter from our school PTo: 

 Parents,

Our North Schuylkill Fun Run kicked off today, and we are thrilled about this year’s program! We’ve asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run program (which will last about two weeks), making our fundraising simpler, more profitable, and more fun. Our Fun Run includes EVERY student in a fun, fitness event while helping our school raise much-needed funds. 

 

This year, our entire school is raising funds for field trips, education programs, and fun day . Our goal is to raise $15,000 , and we need YOUR help!

 

Here’s a quick video on how you can support North Schuylkill Elementary:

• Register your student on funrun.com simply by searching our school name, “North Schuylkill” Then, use funrun.comto log pledges for your child.
• Reach out to sponsors. Every student’s goal is to connect with 10 sponsors. And with funrun.com’s smart sharing features, reaching out to sponsors is easier than ever. The easiest way to get pledges is to simply click the Facebook share button on your student’s pledge page. Plus, with a few clicks you can create a custom Student Star video to share on social media. You can also use the Easy Emailer to connect with friends and family. As you gather pledges, be sure to record each sponsor’s e-mail address so they have the opportunity to easily pay for your student’s pledge online via credit card. (remember, $1 per lap = $30 flat, so $5 per lap = $150, $10 per lap = $300, etc).
• Ask your child about the Mindspark Mystery Lab Character Lesson of the day! This year’s character program is Mindstark Mystery Lab, a S.T.E.A.M.-based theme all about solving problems with character! Join along by watching the fun character videos with your child on funrun.com.
• The Fun Run is on January 24th!! All students are included in the Fun Run, regardless of financial participation. Remember, students will be running 30-35 laps, and we would love for you to come out and cheer!

Thank you for supporting our school. We hope to see you next week at the Fun Run!

Sincerely,

North Schuylkill PTO
