L.E.R.U. April 29, 2019

Greetings Little Elk families! 


We come off of a great week of new lessons about plants and ancient human history. It's also noticeable that a good number of people are starting to work with some new friends. That's nice to see! And we are done with the MCAs for another year. (Please note that this Update comes with two attachments).


You may have heard that we have a History Fair coming up on Thursday, May 30! Historical Studies is the theme for this spring's work share. Please ask your child what they have chosen for a topic! I have passed out History Project Agreements, which I have attached for your, parental, viewing pleasure. Your child will need to turn theirs in and have it approved no later than this Friday. I cannot stress enough the important of taking your child to the library to collect resources (books, but even reference materials that you may not be able to check out). The library  visit is a crucial step to research which I cannot provide. Please allow them to bring in the book or books so that they can read and take notes here at school. Thank you!


Here are the three most important dates on

  • Friday, May 3: History Project Agreements must be approved 
  • Friday, May 10: Notecards are due  
  • Friday, May 17: Rough Draft is due  
  • Thursday, May 30: Come support our fair!

Classroom Supplies/Donations: Please see the donations list that I've attached. (This is the same list I made available at conferences. If you brought it in your item already I should have deleted it). Thank you!


Thank you to Karma Walker (Emmett) for her gift of quilt work that she made for Little Elk.! Be sure to take it in when you come for the History Fair on May 30, if not before.


Finally, thank you to Chrissy Kesselring (Hugh) for donating art materials, to Sandi Cariveau (Will) for all of our 4x6 notecards, and to Amy Goetzman (Scarlett) for a supply of beautiful water color paper! (I feel like I wrote this before, but I can't find it. I include it here in case it never got sent :). Thanks also to Heather Thomas (Colton) for the watercolor paints and tri-fold board; to Gabriella McCann (Greta) for paper towels. 


Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support!


In partnership,



Seth, Elizabeth and John
