Baile Folklórico and Tigers of Tomorrow
This one-minute video does not do it justice, but it gives you a glimpse of a few small segments from this learning week!
Greg Johnson, who is a former astronaut will be visiting the Barrington-area next Wednesday the 14th and is available to make a school visit to speak about his time aboard the shuttle Endeavor and his journey to becoming an astronaut. He also talks about how his time as an astronaut in space changed the way he sees Earth and how we, as stewards of planet Earth, can be "crew members" rather than just "passengers" taking an active role in how we care for our planet.

💡 Daily Parent Task: Check your student's take-home folder 💡
Teachers send home materials and books each day. It is the caretakers' job to review the take-home folder, help students with the materials, and read the books. With take-home books, many teachers ask for caretaker feedback on the student's reading. Be sure to read and send the book back to school, so future students can read it.
Has anyone said your student gets distracted easily, that they may have ADHD, or has trouble focusing?
Schools are required by law to make and follow accommodations when a doctor diagnosis a student with ADHD. A diagnosis can cost thousands of dollars. However FREE diagnosis is available for students who need it, live in Kane County, and are income eligible. Read the flier below on "neuropsychological evaluations" for more information. Also, use this link.
Please email Toni Garcia at garciatoni@kanecountyil.gov or call 331-312-0060 to register.
