You may have heard the great news! Over spring break the Climbing Wall was installed. Due to your child's hard work and fundraising for DANCEFIT in the fall we were able to reach our goal and have the Climbing wall in place before the end of the year for all of our 2023-2024 student fundraising efforts! It is already being used in PE. We are so excited to have this wonderful addition and forever grateful to our Wild Rose PTO and Community for all of your fundraising efforts! THANK YOU!!

Our students have been working hard through the IAR assessments. Fifth grade students are complete and 3rd and 4th grade students just have one more assessment on Monday morning. Please continue to have students get a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast and chrome books charged. This is good practice for any school day not just during testing ;0).

The Eclipse is Monday. You may have received information from your child's teacher in regards to viewing. Also we had thought we would be indoors for recess all day, however if it is safe prior to the time of the beginning of the eclipse we will send students outside as it is supposed to be a beautiful day and we haven't had too many of those recently. We will be sure to be safe and there is a link below for your information.

Our PTO spring event is next Friday, April 12th. We are still in need of many volunteers. Please consider donating a portion of your time to make this event a success. We certainly would like to move forward with all of the fun plans versus having to change plans due to lack of volunteers. Please click on the link to see volunteer availability.

Lots to read please enjoy and have a great weekend!

Good afternoon and Happy Wednesday Wild Rose!

To prepare for our last month of Esti-Mystery, I have put together an OPTIONAL project for Wild Rose students to complete where they will be able to create their own math mystery. What better way to encourage belonging in our Wild Rose math community than to feature the work of our very own Wild Rose mathematicians, on our Esti-Mystery board. =)

In your mailboxes, you will find the direction sheet, student template and a hundred chart for students to grab if they're interested in participating. There are 10 copies in your mailbox and extra copies will be available in the ALC. The direction sheet explains the task and the student template is what students will need to fill out and turn in. Students will think of a collection they own (LOL dolls, legos, hot wheels cars, etc.), count their collection and snap a picture of it. They will then need to create clues to help narrow down the possible answer choices. I have included some math vocabulary to help students on the direction sheet. If students prefer, they can create an image on the computer or find a free clipart image as well.

Students may print out their completed template and picture or send the completed template and digital copy of their image via email. I will have a bin in the ALC for submissions or they can email them directly to me. All submissions should be completed and turned in by Friday, May 3rd. Two winners will be chosen and put on display by Friday, May 10th. I will plan to feature more of these submissions next school year.

I hope students have fun sharing their collections and creating their own Esti-Mystery! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Links to all of the project materials are below (they are also available on the Wild Rose schoology page as well)
