Dear Parents/Guardians:
We continue our Second Step lesson the next week, our 3rd and 4th graders will be learning about Showing Compassion. Our 5th graders will be talking about Emotional Management.
As Minnesotan’s we know that our weather can be unpredictable and severe at times. There may be times that we can’t safely hold classes at school, but still want to continue learning. We have flexible learning time on those days. Below is information taken from our website on what that looks like for us.
Flexible Learning Plan for PreK-5
-
Teachers will send home the flex learning menus prior to flexible learning days.
-
On flexible learning days teachers will be available by email from 10am-2pm for any questions.
-
Work assigned on flex learning menus will be a review of work already covered in class.
-
Completion of the flexible learning menu is due one week following the flexible learning day.
-
Students/Families will complete and cross off one item under each category on the flexible learning menu.
-
Students will return the tracking sheet or menu with parent signature to school.
-
Flexible learning menus are linked below for families that need another copy.

I wanted to give you a heads-up that we will be sharing an informational video we created on hygiene. It is a topic we share with all of our students. It will happen during the week of January 3rd.
We also have a puberty lesson with a video that we will share with all 5th graders on January 6th. There is a specific lesson for girls and one for boys. Students will be divided up into girl and boy groups for these lessons.
We are selling our leftover fortune cookies and gummies while supplies last on Friday mornings before school. These items are being sold to raise money that goes back to our students in the form of incentives. They are being sold for a dollar each.
Take care,
John Beach
