Minutes from Prior PTC Meeting
Teacher’s Report: Melanie Anderson
-Phy ed loved the sleds, they were amazing. They were all very well used and have cracked and died.
-Lots of teachers are getting their vaccines, 1st and 2nd doses. This is leading to a lot of absences but overall it is great.
-1st grade is doing animal reports. 3rd grade is learning about ancient civilizations. 5th grade didn’t get to go Wolf Ridge but they are doing some of those things virtual with the naturalists. 5th grade also raised money to help the Sandwich Man.
-Recess is going to be writing up a request for some outdoor social distancing items for the kids.
Principal’s Report: Jennifer Molitor
-We will be reaching out to the DOGS to paint the black top. 4 square and some other fun activities would be great at recess for social distancing.
-We were hopeful that the kids could go to Wolf Ridge in the spring but they aren’t ready to open yet. The naturalists have already done some virtual learning with our kids. We are trying to bring it to life as much as we can throughout spring.
-We are settled in now. Things are going really well. We figured out the lunch (20 minutes)/recess (15 minutes).
