Upcoming events!

Our class feast is this Thursday.  Each child should have brought home a card with their food item.  We appreciate everyone’s support in helping us make this possible.  The kids are so excited about it.

I apologize for any confusion regarding the class feast and the school’s Community Gratitude Feast. The Community Feast is for public servants (e.g. firemen, policemen, mayor, etc).  The class feast is just for our class.  Both are on Thursday.

Our next field trip will be to see the “Nutcracker” at the Egyptian Theater on Dec. 9.  We will be traveling by bus.  Unfortunately, we will not be able to take chaperones this time as there are a limited number of seats available.  I will be sending home waiver forms and more information next week.

The next home project will be due the first week of December.  I have included the schedule below.  This is the Continent Study home project.  Each child has selected either a U.S. state or a country in North America.   I have reviewed it with them several times, but please let me know if your child has forgotten. This project will involve research of the chosen place.  They should also have a visual aid.  They can learn and present about the culture, animals, historical information, tourist attractions, natural wonders and geographical features, music, language, etc.

Dear Families,

Your child should have brought home their picture packet last week.  If you are not satisfied with the results please use the additional form that was sent home yesterday for picture retakes on Nov. 19.

I’ve had some questions about what is the difference between “Show and Teach” and “Home projects”.  Show and teach is when a student brings an item from home and tells us a few things about it. It can be a special souvenir or collection.  It can also be a talent or craft that the student would like to demonstrate or teach about.   “Home projects” require the students to do research and more long-term preparation.  A home project is more in depth.

Our next home project will be due the first week of December.  This time each child will be choosing a U.S. state, Canadian province, or country in Central America to present for our North American continent studies.  They will be responsible to research and prepare a visual aid of their state, etc. They should come prepared to teach the class about it.  Most of the children have already decided which location they would like to research.  I will be providing a schedule of what day your child’s project will be due.

Our class feast will be held the same day as the school gratitude feast.  More details to come next week.

Have a great weekend!

Happy November!
