COYOTE HOWL SAN JON SCHOOLS December 18, 2018 Superintendent News It is hard to believe that we are already in the mix of the holidays when it feels like school just started. We have had a tremendous school year so far and are excited for what the rest of the year brings. It's an exciting time of year, reaching the half way point and celebrating all that is good in life with the holiday season. Bringing in a new calendar year comes with the opportunity for students to plan for their successes and creating goals for the second half of the school year. Please assist your children in coming up with their goals and assisting them in ways to continually strive to make San Jon the best school and community possible. We are so fortunate to have a supportive community and families. We just enjoyed an outstanding performance by our students with the Missoula Children's Theater! Hopefully, you were among those that joined us for their performance. I'd like to extend my gratitude for all the staff and community members that assisted in making this performance wonderful! As we enter this holiday season, on behalf of the San Jon Municipal School staff and Board of Education, I want to wish all of our families a safe, joyous, and wonderful holiday season! We all have a great deal to be thankful for every day, and I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to work with our wonderful staff, you children, and you on a daily basis! San Jon is a wonderful community, and I am grateful to help serve the staff, students, families and community.
Class News 5th Grade News Did you know that you do not need soil to grow plants? The 5 th graders do. We have learned that hydroponics means water + works, so the water is working to grow plants without soil. We have an aquaponics unit (which is a hydroponics unit with fish working to produce the fertilizer) in our classroom that is growing pea plants. Mrs. McCauley taught us about the chemistry involved with the plants and the fish. We are researching pea plants and hydroponics and also reading how people that have been affected by natural disasters that do not have valuable land to produce crops have benefited from hydroponics. 1st Grade News 1st Grade I-Station masters!! We have all worked so hard to improve our scores this year. We are looking forward to next year. Page 2
4th Grade News Where did 2018 go? It feels like it was just yesterday when the school year was starting and now we are half way through the school year and starting another year. We have been busy so far learning how to multiply and divide. Next we are going to learn all about fractions. Also we have learned about the main idea and supporting details and text evidence. We will continue to focus on text evidence as the new year starts. We are also learning about the 50 states and their capitals. Fourth grade would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sports News Junior High Basketball is off to a great start! The boys are a very high-energy, and fast team!
