Principal's Message
Principal's Message
Open House will give you a deeper look into what your children have been learning and how they have been learning it- through your child’s eyes. Your child is your guide. Classrooms are open 5:45-7:00.
It is our hope that the Cove Guiding Principles come to life at Open House:
#1 Experiential Learning- What hands-on, inquiry-based learning has your child engaged in? Classrooms may feature projects they have been exploring, examples of the iterative learning process (drafts, revisions), and the products of their efforts. We aim to highlight the process of learning, not just the end products.
#2 Social-Emotional Growth- How does your child practice being mindful, effectively participating in a group, proactive self-regulation and taking risks?
#3 Creativity- How does your child think outside the box, explore multiple solutions to problems, or share their learning in unique ways? At Open House our SPARK funded arts programs will be featured:
7:15pm music performance by our 5th-graders (Gallery)
2D and 3D Art on displays from Ms. McKee’s art classes (Gallery and Classrooms)
#4 Community- Take this chance to deepen community connections with your children’s classmates and teachers.
This is an event for the whole family! Please park off campus, supervise your children and leave the dogs at home. You do not have to stay the whole time- drop in as you can.
Reminder- Friday, April 7 is 1:15pm dismissal for all students.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Michelle Walker, Principal
