Greetings, Falcon Families!
In an effort to balance our academic routines
with important social and cultural opportunities for our students, we’d like to
share information on our classroom celebrations. We hope this helps your
family to plan and enjoy some exciting social milestones in your elementary
child’s experience.
Several holiday-centered celebrations have
developed into traditions in our building. Students and their families
look forward to these special themes and celebrations, and it may be helpful to
know these traditions as your child progresses through school. Halloween,
in particular, is an exciting time. We
wish to tie our school celebration to curriculum to use our time wisely, create
excitement surrounding learning pieces (such as reading, Wisconsin history, and
science), and remain sensitive to families’ unique approaches to this
traditional holiday. Our grade levels celebrate at the end of October in
the following themes:
|
EC, 4K and Kindergarten
|
When I grow up, I want to be: Students dress
|
|
First Grade
|
Story Book celebration: Students dress as
|
|
Second Grade
|
Everyday Heroes: Students
|
|
Third Grade
|
Mad Scientist day: Students dress as
|
|
Fourth Grade
|
Wisconsin theme: Students dress to reflect our
|
We ask that families refrain from dressing their
child with potentially scary accessories such as fake blood, weapons, masks,
etc. Please also keep in mind that costumes worn for the entire school
day still need to allow for daily activities.
Students will still need to go to recess, physical education class,
perform typical daily tasks, eat lunch, etc. These guidelines help all
students to enjoy the day.
While our themes are intended to spark
creativity and support learning, we understand that the themes may not coincide
with your family’s chosen costumes for this traditional holiday. Please
don’t feel that you need to make an additional purchase to enjoy this school
dress-up experience. Our school mission, vision, and commitments
emphasize innovation, so it’s great to see creative use of common
clothing or materials to share the excitement of imagination!
Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher
or the school office with specific questions.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Lynn Bub, SFES Principal
For your reference, here are our overall
guidelines for celebrations:
- School celebrations (or parties) typically occur during
a portion of the day (as opposed to an entire day). Students may
wear themed attire on a variety of special days (100th day, pajama day, Dr.
Seuss celebration, and many other examples), but the actual “party” or
“activity” does not typically last all day. - Grade level teachers communicate with one another to
offer a similar experience for all students at each grade level. - Parents may be invited to assist with a celebration;
grade levels plan these opportunities together, as well. Every
attempt is made to share opportunities with multiple families, just as we
do for field trips (some celebrations may not require parent helpers). - While it is tempting to attend every activity or
celebration with your child, these events are meant to extend our academic
learning during a portion of the day and are not all meant to be
performances or family events. We welcome your presence whenever possible,
and try to balance family pieces with student independence and appropriate
social development. - Please check classroom communications for information
on upcoming celebrations so you can prepare your child for their
experience.
