Principal’s Note:  Dear Parents,
In the Elementary School, we paint, we climb, we sit on the carpet and run (until we are nice and sweaty) in PE! We also play outside in all weather and at times get wet and dirty. Being energetic and creative is a big part of our PYP program and allows students to grow and develop as active, healthy children. As mentioned a few weeks ago, it is important students come to school in clothes they can play in. It was lovely to see so many of you at our PTO Quiz Night on Saturday. Thank you for supporting our school. Warmly, Jen Munnerlyn ASW Elementary Principal Coming Up: Wednesday, February 7:
Friday, February 9: ES Carnival (Please check teacher blogs for more specific information!) Calendar Questions? Please check the ASW Website Calendar for the most up-to-date postings each week! Parent Partnership Video Series! Have you wondered what learning is like for your child? Each month, we hope to showcase student learning via short videos highlighting a particular aspect of our program. Additionally, these videos aim to inform parents about best-practices in education, instructional strategies teachers are using, and develop an understanding of what it means to educate the whole-child.

The Elementary School will be celebrating “Carnival” on Friday, February 9. We are excited to offer an event which highlights our host country of Poland, while offering us an opportunity to have fun learning about other countries and their celebrations too! The Polish Culture and Language teachers, together with our homeroom teachers, will be helping students inquire into this traditional celebration and how it is presented around the world. Here in Poland, Carnival is typically celebrated prior to Ash Wednesday. People wear costumes and eat traditional donuts called Pączki. On Friday, February 9, students should come to school already in their costumes. First thing, we will parade through the school hallways. Parents are welcome to stay and watch our parades: 8:45-9:05 1st and 2nd Grade Parade 9:10-9:30 Parade 3, 4, 5th Grade Parade *Based on feedback from last year- PK/K will celebrate in age-appropriate ways in their own classrooms. (Questions? Please contact your child’s teacher.) Parent Volunteers Needed for our ES Carnival!We are planning our 2nd Annual ES Carnival event and need parent volunteers to make the day a success for all students. Would you be willing to help? If so, please contact our Polish teachers, Ms. Cechnicka ([email protected]) or Ms. Gozdecka ([email protected]). Dziękujemy! Photo Retakes and Frames!
