June 2, 2024
This is our final week of school! It's been a year that we've thoroughly enjoyed. Our students were kind (mostly!), worked hard, and we hope, had fun! Our 6th graders will continue to build upon their skills, habits, and interests as they move into 7th grade. We already know our 5th graders will become excellent "olders" and provide support and guidance to next year's "youngers."
Thank you for sharing your student with us and for trusting us to meet their social, emotional and academic needs along the way. You make our work possible, we absolutely could not do what we do without you! You will always be your students first and most important educator; we stand on your shoulders. Thank you for welcoming the content, process, and structures that push your student to do new things and work in different ways.
Please encourage your student to read daily throughout the summer. They should sign up for their public library summer reading challenge. This week they will bring home a "Favorite Books of MAC 3, 2023-2024 Edition" that can help them select books. The list is curated by each student mining their book list and sharing their top 2-4 books from this school year.

Above is an image of art created by our MAC 3 students. It started as a photograph of the front of Lake Bluff.
Each student received a 2x3 cm tile they then expanded to 8x9 in for their first draft. On their second draft they included all of the details and color. Once it was hung last week, they expressed individual and collective pride.
Look carefully, notice how the railings, windows, trees, and roof line all align.
Each student worked without knowing who had the tiles around them.
The nation's motto: E pluribus unum: Out of many, one is a great fit for this project!
