We had a great first week.  The class is an amazing group of kids.  We  spent a lot of time getting familiar with our school's constitution, our new friends, our new room and working on mediation strategies.  Next week we start our regularly scheduled math and literacy menu groups and begin our space unit.  

Thank you to everyone who brought in all your paperwork.  I'd love to start taking some neighborhood walks to familiarize us with field trip expectations.  

If you have any questions about how the new lunch program is working you can ask Ramona about the specifics.  So far the food looks good, and very nutritious.  It's nice to have real plates and less waste and mess.  

Remember if you have any questions your can email me at beth@rilliumcharterschool.org or call me at 503.706.6742 if you need more immediate info.  Please call before 9:30 or so.  

Thanks to all!

Here are some photos of our awesome work crew in action.  Last weekend, Daniel Fleisher, Cris Moss, Melissa and Travis Crenshaw, Michael Klopfenstein and my husband Jon Molenkamp built an amazing loft in our room.  It is really quite impressive. All of this was made possible by the efforts of Mariah McNeice, who was able to arrange a generous donation of lumber by Shur Way lumber in St. John's.  Thanks everyone, and thanks Shur Way!  

Also, a big reminder for many people who have asked. The first day of school is Monday, September 8th!  See you in our newly decorated room!

Check out our beginning of the school year newsletter/handbook.  It is full of information that will help you throughout the year.  We have a great year planned with the theme of "Through Time and Space."  Get ready to blast off into a year of learning and fun!

Expect a call soon about home visits or contact me on my Trillium email to let me know of good times for you beth@trilliumcharterschool.org
