Dear Taylor Prairie Families,
We have an incredible group of young people with us this year! Their energy and enthusiasm brings so much joy to our lives! Children have been busy playing outside on these beautiful fall days, being makers in the makerspace, learning how to collaborate and engage in math conversations, talking about feelings, developing early literacy skills, and so much more!
We have updated our vision statement to more closely align with Monona Grove’s new vision and mission statement, and we have consolidated it so that it has more impact! Our new vision statement is:
Taylor Prairie School is a student-focused, play-based, inclusive environment where all are valued and celebrated.
Where are you seeing elements of this vision “coming to life” within your child’s school experience? Learners sometimes have difficulty sharing about their big days at school and are also really great at staying immersed in each present moment (“rewinding” back to thinking about school may be a challenge when they get home). Please check out Seesaw to get updates about your child’s days at school! You may see photos, student work examples, and more! If you are unsure about how to access Seesaw, please talk with your child’s teacher.
Parent- teacher conferences are coming up at the end of the month. These meetings are a learning opportunity for all of us! You are your child’s first and best teacher, so we welcome your input and feedback. You will have the option of attending an in-person or virtual conference. Look for more information coming soon from your child’s teacher!
In Partnership,
Emily Foster
