Going With the Flow...

...is the name of the game these days, as the students in Room 503 make their way into the second quarter of the school year.

It's been an interesting week, returning from fall break to a new classroom set up, a mixed-up schedule (due to Parent-Teacher conferences and Academic Field Day), and a lot more homework. But like the rivers they are busy researching, the Sixth Grade students are simply going with the flow.

Tomorrow is Academic Field Day, an all-school event. All the students at TPJA/TPA will be in teams of mixed ages and will move from activity to activity, exploring different areas of academia in fun and challenging ways.

The day will begin with "breakfast" (doughnuts and juice - so you might want to still eat a little something at home), followed by the traditional "senior pinning." After that, the games begin! The students will rotate through five rounds of activities, culminating by 2:30 PM. Please feel free to pick up your student at that time.

Thank you to all the parents who have joined Mrs. Veenstra and I for Parent-Teacher conferences so far - it has been a pleasure to talk and work with all of you to ensure the best education possible for your children. We will look forward to meeting with the rest of you next week!

Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
