Dear families,
After this long weekend of reflection and celebration of thanks we find ourselves refreshed and ready to come back to school. We will start right away as hosts of the student store. The students of our classroom will be running the store on Monday from 2:45 to 4 PM. Please feel free to come by and shop, if you are unable to visit the store will be open through Thursday. To see the store commercials please visit the following links. Many of our classmates were involved in this committee.
After finishing the preparation for the student store on Monday we will turn our attention to Michigan facts and trivia. We will look at different areas of interest including famous citizens, landmarks, statehood, flag facts, geography, and interesting trivia. The information will be learned in groups and assessed via a Jeopardy type game show. This will take us into the holidays as we decorate the room for winter and look at various traditions of celebrating the holidays from around the world.
We are making a plea to all you to help us learn about different holiday traditions. We have a very diverse group of students and families including Greek, Vietnamese, Chinese, African American, English, Australian, Jewish, and certainly many more. It would be great to learn more about each of these and the traditions followed in the different cultures. If there is a way that you may be able to bring this to our classroom we would more that appreciate your participation. Please let us know if you can help. It means so much more coming from families than it does from the same old teachers.
We will also be continuing with spelling, math, writing, learning our songs for the visit to Woodward Hills and book clubs.
