Final Room Echo Update for the Year

Good Evening Everyone,

I want to give you a quick run down of this weeks events for Room Echo.

June 1^st and 2^nd – Mission Presentations. Please see the attached for a copy of the scheduled times I sent out last week.

June 2^nd – Open House from 4:00 until 6:00.

June 4^th – Last Day of School

·      STREAM has a play day scheduled for all the students which includes some water activities. Our class is scheduled to participate from 9:00 am to noon. Students may wear swimsuits for these water activities but must be covered with a t-shirt at all times. Old sneakers or water shoes are ok but flip flops are not going to be allowed for safety reasons. Towels and clothes should be labeled. Students will also need to bring a change of cloths for when we are done around noon.  Students will change in the classroom bathroom.

·      We will be having an in class lunch that a group of parents have put together so students will not need to bring lunch.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone for a fantastic first year of STREAM not only for myself but, for our entire school. I am so thrilled to call this place my new home and I look forward to seeing everyone as we move onto 5^th grade and a new classroom. I hope you all have a great summer planned and spend quality and fun time with family and friends.  With the projected changes coming over the summer I will be around campus on occasion. Please check the blog over the summer for updates at www.schooldaystday.com. Again, my many thanks and I look forward to what will be a very exciting, challenging, rigorous and fun year ahead.

Mr. Williams

Mid Week Update

Good Afternoon,

My apologies for not getting this update to you sooner as I was out sick yesterday.

This week is very busy week for Room Echo. We have a field trip tomorrow and the rough drafts for the Mission Project Essay is due this Friday, May 15^th.

Regarding our field trip to the Pioneer Museum in Paradise tomorrow, Wednesday, May 13^th, I have asked the students to dress for the experience if possible. They will also need to bring a bag to carry home the mementoes that they will create; a water bottle; and a cloth napkin (paper is ok if you do not have cloth).  The weather is a bit cooler in Paradise so it is recommended that your student bring a jacket or sweatshirt.  Lunch will be provided but please pack a light snack. I will be taking many pictures and will post them upon our return.

On Friday, May 15^th, the rough draft is due for the Mission Project Essay. I have asked students who are behind to work on them at home. Please check in with you student to see how they are progressing. Many students are done or very close to being done.  As a reminder timeliness is a part of the final project grade.

This weekend I will send home an update with what the rest of the school year looks like as well as information about summer camps being offered here at STREAM.

April 12, 2015 Update

Good Morning Everyone

I wanted to give everyone a little update regarding out classroom garden we have been working on for the class. We have finished the building and painting of the new planter box. The students have moved some soil that was donated to the classroom and have moved rock to help with the drainage and design. This week the students will design their pickets, which will be used to protect the garden and give it a nice finished look. The students have worked really hard and are excited to see this project come together. At this point we are in need of bags of planting soil. Once we have completed the pickets and have our soil we will be looking at plants and talking about what plants will work in our environment. Also if you or you know someone who can put up the pickets for our fence and would not mind donating this can you please email me. On the website, www.schooldaystoday.com, under the blogger tab you can see a slide show of all the hard work the students have been doing.
