Seed Savers Exchange - Information Coming Home Tuesday!

Seed Savers Exchange

It's snowing today, but we're thinking about seeds for spring!

Today your Willowwind student is bringing home a fundraiser from Seed Savers Exchange! The money from this fundraiser will be used to purchase student chosen Prairie seeds for our Prairie Restoration and Garden. Ms. Michelle has worked hard to gather the great information about this event. For every packet of seeds sold, we get $4.00 toward our own seeds! The K-6 friends have set a goal to sell at least 10 packets each, which would be over $2000 toward our project! Please see the bulleted list below and e-mail with any questions.

1. Fundraiser goes from Tuesday, January 17th through Tuesday, January 31st
2.  Students may sell to parents, grandparents, close family friends, parent work friends etc. 
3.  If students choose to sell to their neighborhood please discuss safety rules, kind manners and even a script before heading out. The Wolves wrote a script for Prairie Racerunners to use when selling the Seed Collections and is included in your child's Reflection Journal. 
4. Each Seed Collection is $10.00. Money is due when the customer places their order. 
5. Please make checks payable to Willowwind School

Happy Seed Selling!

Orange Group Shape Hunt - Huge Success!

We really enjoyed this morning's presentations about squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, rectangular prisms and spheres! The Shape Books and Drawings will be apart of our classroom library for friends to browse during Math Explorations. Thank-you, families, for your extra help with this project at home. It is was treat. 

Generation Study is due on Friday, January 20, 2012

In Morning Meeting we discussed the expectations for this project. Friends are looking forward to presenting their posters, books, videos and/or pictures on Friday afternoon. If you have further questions about this project please e-mail me. Some examples of topics students have chosen include: manners, hats, transportation, how dogs as pets have changed over the years and clothing traditions. We are looking forward to these presentations on Friday afternoon. Students will have an opportunity to share more of their project at our Community Night in March.
