Good evening! Happy Martin Luther King Day! At the Arete Resource Center this week, we made Peace Doves to symbolize MLK and wrote out our dreams for our world. Your children were very sweet dreaming of a world where all children have food and homes and a world free of cancer and type 1 diabetes. That all sounds great to me!

 

Arete is growing!!! We ordered more Chromebooks before Christmas and have now passed them all out. I ordered even more last week, but they will not be ready for tomorrow. We have four in class and have 12 students scheduled to come in. Unless you are a K-2 student, please bring your fully charged Chromebook/ or charger with you. Our new Chromebooks have different chargers, so we have no Lenovo chargers in class. Hopefully we will have the new Chromebooks ready by Thursday. These are great problems to have!

 

The Arete Resource Center is now open Monday and Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30 for 6-8 students and Tuesday and Thursday from 9:15-12 for K-5 students unless you have made prior arrangements with me. One of the perks of our program is that we can be flexible in how the program meets each child's needs, so it looks a little different for each student.

 

Tomorrow we get to try mandarins for Harvest of the Month. Arete has contracted with Harvest of the Month to provide this for all of our students.

 

Look for the Sign Up Genius email alter this week to arrange our Session #5 meetings at the end of January. Please call or email me if you miss a scheduled appointment.

 

Have a great week!
