Sunny Play Time
Here's proof that a moment of sunshine corresponded with play time at least
once this week! The smiles and the epic game of capture the flag were the
highlights!
Another highlight from the week? Listening to our teachers talk passionately
about Montessori. Thanks to all the parents who made it out to our spring
Parent Education Night. It was great to see everyone there and enthused about
the amazing learning happening at SRM. If you were unable to attend, please
stop into the classroom to pick up your student's portfolio.
Lower Elementary started a
Mandala Project. I love these studies
of symmetry.
A beautiful way to integrate
measuring, geometry, and art.
Talented SRM students had fun
performing for each other this week
...and awesome fiddling. They even
spontaneously played and danced
with Irish step dancing...
together!

On Saturday, April 8 from 10-1, we have the opportunity to team up with Food
For People and help out in their warehouse!
We will get to help create food
boxes for home bound seniors in our area and help sort food donations. This is an
awesome opportunity for us to come alongside an organization that provides
incredible services to so many in our community. Younger siblings are invited to
join as well, so bring your whole family! They have asked us to let them know a few
days ahead of time how many in our community will be coming so they can do
necessary prep, so please send an email to Anne Christensen
if you plan to attend. The warehouse is in the
back of their main building which is in Eureka at 307 14th St. Thanks and see you
there!
Lower El have a field
trip coming up on Thursday, April 6th at 1:00. They will
head over to the Arcata Playhouse to see: "Grammy nominated storyteller Diane
Ferlatte. A multi-award winning performer who has captivated audiences
across six continents and throughout the U.S. Diane draws from a deep well of
folktales, myths, legends, & fables to inform, entertain, & inspire. While many of
her stories & songs have African and African American roots, she loves to tell any
story that holds truths touching upon our common humanity, our history & our
culture. Through stories, songs, sign language, humor and audience participation,
she brings her tales to life while accompanied by her musical sidekick Erik Pearson
on banjo & guitar."
Drivers are needed for this performance: 12:30-2:15 approximately. Please let
Debora know if you can drive.
Spring Break is coming up. There will be no school April 17-20.
