Navigator Students Score Big on Attendance for October.
The results or our October Attendance Challenge are in! It’s so exciting to report that 377 students were rewarded for awesome attendance last month. Students who achieved Perfect Attendance for October earned 15 PRIDE points and those students who missed no more than 2 days in October earned 10 PRIDE points. Kids are excited to see their names posted on the Awesome Attendance banner in the 6th grade hall. Stop by and check it out the next time you’re in Navigator for a visit. Our next Attendance Challenge month will be in January. Remember our attendance goal this year is Strive for Five! No more than 5 days missed all year. Way to go Navigators!!
We're looking forward to seeing Navigator families this week for conferences. We can't wait to celebrate our students' learning with you!
Happy Halloween! Navigator students rocked the costume contest.
4th-grade students in Mrs. Harris's art class looked at the work of Vincent Van Gogh, examining his style and the materials used. The life and times of the artist were also discussed. Then, they created a fun background for the silhouette of their eerie house using a Van Gogh style to apply the oil pastels.
Navigator 6th graders performed their Halloween concert tonight at the Jane Tasch Theatre! What a fun night to celebrate the great work of our Navigator Orchestra students!
Mrs Kanerva hosts over 40 6th grade students for a math study jam. Students are invited to join her before school to enjoy a light breakfast while preparing for a math test.

With Halloween approaching, fifth-grade Creative Expressions students have been writing mystery stories and adding "creepy" sound effects to share with the class. Adding a bonfire to the storytelling makes the mystery theater that much spookier.
Ms. Crawford's math students kicked off Spirit Week's PJ Day by practicing adding and subtracting fractions and making brownies in a mug. Yum!
