Cora and Violet are both having a good year at school so far - we are so thankful! Violet is happy with her teacher and class and friendships, and is an eager learner. Really, she is so easy-going all around.
We noticed her class's artwork - I love her pastel of Christmas lights! She really did a beautiful job.
I helped out at the school's Holiday Gift Shop this week, and the girls and Stace created these posters that we put up on the school's three main fences.
Cora has been working on a biome project on the rainforest for the past month with a small group.
This week, the sixth grade held a "Biome Expo" where all the groups displayed their projects in the MPR for their parents and each other.
Here's Cora, Anna, Jake and Alyssa, who all did a marvelous job in their roles as they presented their research.
The students were instructed to dress professionally, or in clothes that brought their biome to mind; hence the jaguar/ocelot dress for Cora and the camo green for the others. This also explains - kind of - the leaves in their hair.
Mrs. Van Gelderen, the assistant principal, listened to the group and took photos - Jake didn't seem too excited about that.
Cora was recently elected to represent her class on the Student Council - congratulations!
As part of that role, Cora was asked to present a "thank you" to veterans at the school's Apex Serve Morning Ceremony, where we wrapped up the fundraiser by discussing the students' accomplishments.
Cora did a fabulous job, sounding poised and respectful. She also was the only student announced by name by Mrs. Sorenson-Howe - our Cora is a leader through and through.
