Errington Edition 11/13
Happy Learning Celebration Week!
Learning Celebrations are a time honored tradition here at San Tan Charter School. They are a time for you to join your child in their classroom, to experience learning at its finest. I always love how all classrooms, projects, work samples, etc… are unique. Your child will most likely lead most of the learning celebration and probably show you around their classroom. They are more than a display of student work rather a time for students to reflect on and articulate what they have learned, how they learned, questions they answered, research they conducted, what they loved, and what they didn’t. They are powerful opportunities to make learning public for our students, a sense of pride in their accomplishments. We have conveniently broken up the learning celebrations by grade bands to prevent parking congestion and allow you to dedicate yourself to all of your children. I hope you enjoy learning celebration as much as the kids, teachers, and administration do.

Attorney Volunteers! San Tan will be starting a new competition this year called Mock Trial for our 5th-7th graders! Students will be given a case by the State and will compete in a real trial. To help each team learn and master openings, closings, directs, cross examinations, introducing evidence, witness preparation, and trial procedures we are looking for some amazing attorneys who can volunteer their time as coaches. Each team has eight players and the practices can be designed around your schedule. It is a great way to give back to the community and can count as pro-bono hours if you work with a firm. Practices would start after Winter break and regionals are Saturday, March 2nd. Please let Dr. Love know if you are interested in being a coach by Friday, November 16th at alove@santancs.com so we can provide you with more information.
