It's Make Time

Take a tub...

...and do some shopping!

Our materials are beginning to arrive from our Rose Park friends. Those of you in need of materials, please feel free to take a tub and fill it up! You may gladly shop for items needed and save the receipt. Or email me and I'll go find it! I'll be here on Saturday morning touring a new parent as well as setting up my session in the music room so let me know if I can help! Let's do this! :D

Makers Details
Per our discussion, we will hold Makers sessions Monday through Thursday, March 6-9. Students will come to their "home room" each morning to begin the day. By 8:30, we will start the shuffle to the "make session" classroom. At 8:30 you can begin the introductions with the students gathered in your space and describe the "problem" or "project" students will be engaged in. Following the schedule we have used in the past, students will work from 8:30-9:45. Recess will be held from 9:45-10:00. Wednesday's recess will be 9:45-10:05. I will cover morning recess duty throughout the week. Students will return to their "make session" classroom after recess and stay until 10:30. At 10:30, they'll travel back to their "home room" classes.

Friday's celebration will take place at 11:00 in the gym. I'll try to collect stories to share at the celebration. If you have awesome moments to share or capture with your phone, please don't hesitate to share them with me. We'll enjoy all that was experienced together in the gym from 11:00-11:30.

Man, there's a lot going on. Please keep in mind the three ways we'll primarily be impacted at South Side:

• Visitors will descend upon us during Makers Week. Keep on keeping on. Be your awesome self!
