The A2STEAM Community

Students created these posters about themselves.  They were sent out to you in Seesaw.  Now we are interviewing and making posters for other people at STEAM.

Kindness Challenge
Our Music teacher Ms. Huckabone, along A2STEAM as a whole, is launching a 'Kindness Challenge' this week.  This is perfect for Room K-3 because as part of our study of the A2STEAM community we have been learning about and practicing acts of kindness in class.  We have practiced compliments, helpful actions, and greetings.  I have challenged students to complete acts of kindness both at school and at home.  Ask your students what acts of kindness they have done today.  You can also ask them about the book Kindness is Cooler Ms. Ruler, you might even see if you can find that book at the Ann Arbor Public Library.

Fall Festival
The A2STEAM PTO is hosting a school-wide Fall Festival party at our school on October 20th from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM.  This flyer has more information.  It is always a fun time for.  I plan on being there for the first hour or so.  They also need volunteers, if you are interested this is where you sign up.

Fall Conferences
If you haven't already please sign up for a Fall Parent/Teacher conference.
