Structures with spaghetti and mini marshmallows!

Wow! We used unconventional materials to create 3D shapes! How cool is that? Look at the great exploration and testing going on in our room!

Final day of school run down...

If you like having a jump on the schedule I have the activities and times for June 11th (the last day of school). If you want to join us you absolutely may. PLEASE pack a lunch for your child on the last day of school. We will not be going to the cafeteria to eat and therefore not providing a lunch for them.

Important information

Just a reminder: Although Scappoose School District does not have late start on Monday, June 8, SIA still does. Due to the schedule difference, there are no transfer buses in Scappoose. What that means is that if your student is picked up from their home and driven to the SMS bus hub, there is no bus available for them on that day. Please be aware that you must drop off your student at SMS between 8:45am-9:05amto catch the bus to the island. Need to drop your student off early at SIA? Morning care is available for $5/hr per student starting at 7:30am. Please let Ms. Lori know if your child will be joining her. ljaeger@sauvieislandacademy.org

All school skate!

Hello everyone,

As I am sure your kiddo has mentioned, as a school we have earned enough Sauvie Stars to have a field trip to go roller skating! Yay! That means that next Thursday we will be getting on school busses and having a blast. Please sign the permission slip so your child can attend. Also, please send them in thick socks and with a lunch!

Thanks so much!! 

ALL SCHOOL SKATE

Thu, May 28, 8:45am – 1:30pm

Pollination Madness!

Wow! What a week! We finished our pollinator books, we had a field trip, we had a Bee Lady (Pam Vetsch) come and visit, we've watched our garden grow... Can kindergarten get any more fun?! Check out what's been buzzing in kindergarten below (with a special thanks to all who provided pictures).

First, we finally got our pollinator books back and had a chance to read them to our friends. 

Then we got to read them to our 5th grade buddies.

Check out these two beautiful examples... we even got a nonfiction author award for such a great job!

On Wednesday we went to Sauvie Island Center to get some more hands on learning about pollination! Thanks to all who could make it and help out!

Then on Friday Pam Vetch (The Bee Lady) came to visit our room. She read us a book about a bee keeper, and then we got to pretend to be bees and farmers. 

Here are our farmers at their farms awaiting the bees. They needed to make a tally mark for every bee that visited their farm.

This is an example of a "bee" the other students held, and the "pollen" (chalk) in the farm. Look at how many bees visited!

She even brought us honey for all or hard work as bees and farmers. It's going home in backpacks today along with a surprise for Sunday! "Bee" on the lookout tonight!
