Cameron Ranch Falcon Connection
September 2023 Edition
Greetings Falcon Community,
Our first month of school was fabulous!
Students have started to build friendships, understand school rules and procedures, and engage in meaningful academics. Learning is taking place across campus, and one of my favorite times of the day is walking into classrooms to connect with students and staff. It warms my heart to enter into peaceful spaces that support the love of learning and fosters student engagement. Cameron Ranch is such a special community.
September has already been busy as we've moved into our first full month of learning. This month we will have fall picture day (9/22), begin our school-wide assemblies to build community and celebrate school-wide character traits, launch our school-wide clubs, and of course, enjoy more field trips!
During the month of September, all students will continue to learn about citizenship across campus and have the opportunity to discover more about their place in the world by exploring our hands-on library learning lab materials (image below), on astronomy and the universe.
The garden of learning is also humming with the sound of laughter and lessons aligned to age appropriate standards. We have a new greenhouse being built that we hope to fill with plants real soon! At the end of October we will celebrate the garden's 25th anniversary!
Each month I will add a variety of resources to the Falcon Connection to support your needs. Don't forget to scroll though the information below.
Warmly,
Principal Aliceon Sloss
