Updates and Events

Dear Families,

Tonight is our Open House/Curriculum Night.  This is your opportunity to see what your student has been doing at Summit Street School.  Your child will bring you to the classroom from 6:00-6:30 and show you the many learning opportunities they have been participating in.  Then, at 6:30 your child will go to the gym to be supervised and engaged in activities, while you remain in the classroom to learn about specific curriculum areas.  This is a fun, informative, and important event.  We hope to see all of you here!

Four Winds:

Last Friday we learned about leaf eaters.  Some animals make holes, some scallop edges, some roll the leaves into tubes to eat them.  When we watch a leaf eater feeding on a leaf we are seeing the flow of energy from the sun to the plant to the animal.  These interactions are evidence of a food chain or food web.  Thank you to Karen Hergesheimer and Adam Cole for a fabulous presentation.

Below are some pictures of our Four Winds volunteers engaging with the students to learn about “leaf eaters.”
