๐ŸŒŠโ›ต HOW TO SAIL SUNDAY! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š Our final letter for "SAIL" is L - LEARN & LEAD BY EXAMPLE! At school, we encourage our Sailfish to stay curious, keep learning, persevere through challenges, and be positive leaders. At home, one of the best ways to encourage these qualities is simply to model them! Let your child see you learning, trying, growing, and leading with kindness. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š Working together, staff at our school and parents at home can set strong examples of what SAILing looks like. We can inspire our Sailfish to SAIL strong! โ›ต๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

๐ŸŒฝ Things got a little CORN-tentious in class! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Our gifted 5th grade class took on โœจThe Great Corn Debateโœจ carefully reading informational texts and using text evidence to build and defend their arguments about Three Sisters Planting, Two-Crop Rotation, and Four-Crop Rotation. ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŒฑ Students werenโ€™t just picking a side, they were reading closely, evaluating evidence, thinking critically, and thoughtfully communicating their ideas. We love watching our Sailfish tackle reading and communication skills with confidence, curiosity, and some friendly debate! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š #MakingWaves #FAWEProud

๐ŸŒŠโ›ต HOW TO SAIL SUNDAY! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š This week, weโ€™re focusing on I โ€” INCREDIBLY RESPONSIBLE! At school, we encourage our Sailfish to take ownership of their choices, stay organized, follow through, and do their part. At home, give your child opportunities to practice responsibility, make choices, and show that they can be counted on. โš“๏ธ Little choices today can lead to big success tomorrow! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š

Welcome to the real world, kiddos! ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Our 5th graders are taking on a big challenge this monthโ€”balancing a family budget! They're earning salaries, paying bills, buying groceries, and balancing their checkbooks.

The big question: Will they have money left at the end of the month for fun activities and a few luxuries? ๐Ÿ˜…

It's hands-on learning at its best as our students discover the importance of financial literacy and smart money management!

๐ŸŒŠ HOW TO SAIL SUNDAY! โš“๏ธ This week, weโ€™re focusing on A - ALWAYS RESPECTFUL! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š At school, we encourage our Sailfish to use kind words, listen to others, show good manners, and treat everyone with kindness. At home, you can help reinforce those same habits by modeling respectful words and actions, encouraging your child to think about how their choices make others feel, and celebrating those moments when they choose kindness. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š Have a quick chat with your sailfish about how they can be "A - always respectful" at home and at school. Letโ€™s keep SAILing together FAWE family! โ›ต๏ธ

โœจ Multiplication & Division Rockstars!โœจ Our 3rd graders are diving into multiplication and division, and theyโ€™re learning that becoming a math whiz is a journey! ๐Ÿง โœ๏ธ Students start with hands-on materials to build understanding, move to pencil-and-paper strategies to show their thinking, and eventually work toward mental math and memorization to build fluency and confidence. From concrete models to โ€œI know it in my head!โ€ moments, our Sailfish are building their math skills one strategy at a time! ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š #FAWEProud
