Week of January 31st

Dear families,

We will begin this week by moving around campus and taking pictures for our auction project. If you have some pictures of your children from previous years please send them in this week. The project is a photo mosaic and will be amazing when finished. Also if you are around campus on Monday at 9:30 feel free to come to the room and walk around with a couple of students while they take their pictures.

The students have been putting together a skit this week and will be presenting it at a stage meeting on Tuesday during the Stage II to III Moving on Up event Tuesday morning. We will also be exploring the early cities of Mesopotamia, Ur, Urak, Babylonia and others by researching books and the internet. After researching the students will compile the information in PowerPoint to share with the class.

Our study of different cultures will continue this Thursday by looking at the Lunar New Year celebrations of TET and Chinese New Year. The morning will be facilitated by Eugenie Gedwill and Shelly Osborne with some interesting projects and yummy food. Eugenie's father will also be in to talk about life in Vietnam and the global awareness we should all be thinking about. Please remember if you would like to expose the students to part of your familie's cultures and traditions you are always welcome to come in a talk with us.

New spelling words will come home on Monday with a test on Friday. We continue as usual with Math, reading groups and afternoon homerooms.


 

Thanks,

Scott and Dee
