During this month of October, I saw several fun activities where the children were working on their book, Chrysanthemum.  I also saw some great work on Place Value and Multiplication.  I am sure you saw the creations of the color wheel that they did in Science.  I also heard some great stories being written as a whole class, one example was of an animal band!  Ms. Andrea has still been visiting us for special lessons on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Sadly, we only have 1 more week of our current Enrichment activities of learning how to take care of pets and learning how to box!
 

We tried to catch you at conferences if you attended in person.  I also called several parents to come pick up the 21st Century supplies.  If you have not done so, you will be able to do so at EMorris after Nov. 9th.  I will let you know if you still need to pick up these supplies.

During October, we will continue to work on our Academics and then begin our new Enrichment activities.  These activities are called Creative Arts and Crafts and Future Programmers of America!  We will also have some fun Music performances and another virtual Field trip to participate in this month!

Dear Parents/Guardians of Elizabeth Morris students,

Yesterday, we had the fun of going on our 1st Virtual Field Trip.  We went to visit the Cahokia Mounds in Collinsville, Illinois.  I have attached a picture from what we saw in the video.  The children were excited to experience a different type of activity.

I want to thank all of the parents/guardians who have assisted our 21st Century students to complete the required PreTest for Math, Reading, and Writing.  I know it was very frustrating for several kids, but having them complete them by his or her self will help us know what he or she can do.  These test will help us curve our lessons to help your child improve their Academic abilities.  Also, don’t worry, we won’t have to do the tests again until the end of the school year.

During this month of September, I saw several fun activities for the teachers and students to get to know each other happening.  I also saw how excited they were when Ms. Andrea visits us for special lessons on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Several of our Group B children have been sharing their knowledge about taking care of animals from their group.  Group A has also shown me some of their Boxing skills.

I was informed that several of our students’ have not picked up their free supplies. I believe that the buses brought them to your house with the Dinner and Snacks. Please take advantage of these materials that 21st Century has purchased to help the children be successful during our program.  There are some math manipulatives, books, markers, pencil, etc.  If you still need to receive these supplies you will need to go to the Board Building Annex Monday through Thursday between 8 AM to 4 PM.  Only children who are registered for 21st Century can receive these supplies.  If you have other children in the district between K to 12, we do have openings still at most schools.  

Supply Kit Pick up Schedule

Location: Board Building Annex - 1824 Jerome Lane 

During October, we will continue to work on our Academics and Enrichment activities.  We will also have some fun Music performances and another virtual Field trip to participate in this month!

For the month of September, the following students had Perfect Attendance!!

DeMario Cole, Demetriona Cole, Amaira Dixon, Keelen Fulton,

Dear Parents/Guardians of Elizabeth Morris students,

We have been busy planning a great first month of 21st Century After School Program for your child.  I know that this new way of having Program will take a little adjustment for our teachers and our students, but I do believe we can make it a success.  Through our program, we will be providing academic lessons and support, providing fun and exciting enrichment opportunities, and help with any assignments not completed.  We are lucky to have returning staff members as teachers and paras.  These staff members are:  Mrs. Parker who will be teaching Science and Math, Mrs. Hammers who will be teaching Reading and Writing, and Ms. Stockett who will be working with all ages but primarily with Second and Third graders.  I am also returning as Site Coordinator for my 4th year at EMorris.  

Our program will start on Monday, September 14, 2020 at 2:15.  At the bottom of this letter is the link for our Zoom meetings.  Every Monday through Thursday, we will use the same zoom link for the kids to join us.  Everyday 21st Century provides a meal and snack for each child in the program.  Since we are not in person for your child to receive these items, the buses will be delivering them starting at 1.  At this time, I do not have the exact route and times, so please keep an eye out for the bus to be arriving in front of your address that you put on the registration form starting on Wednesday.  For Monday and Tuesday you will need to pick up your child’s meal and snack from Choice, High School, or Wirth Middle School between the hours of 12:30 to 3.  On Wednesday they will try to begin delivering the meals to your house.  At the beginning of program we will have our snack item while teachers are taking attendance, so even though your child will be eating, have them log onto Zoom so we do not miss them.  At 5:00, we will have closing games and activities while your child is eating their meal.

For the first week of program, we may need your assistance in helping your child find their 21St Century Google classroom.  Through this app, we will be placing all of our activities, newsletters, announcements, and links for field trips.  At the beginning of the program, we will have some activities to help us see where each child academically is.  These results will help us see where your child is and how best we can help them improve their academic success.

21st Century has purchased some supplies to help the children be successful during our program.  There are some math manipulatives, books, markers, pencil, etc.  In order to receive these supplies you will need to go to the Board Building Annex during one of the following days.  Only children who are registered for 21st Century can receive these supplies.  If you have other children in the district between K to 12, we do have openings still at most schools.
