Our study of Ancient Mesopotamia is well under way and we will continue this week to explore the city states that ruled during that time. The students have been researching different cities in their homeroom groups and creating PowerPoint slides to present to the class this Wednesday. Ask your children what they have learned so far. The information has been fascinating. Questions to ask: Where did they sleep? Why were the rivers important? What are the rivers? What does Fertile Crescent mean? What city are you learning about?
We will be focusing on finishing creative writing stories this week. If all goes well the students will have completed their edited copies and have a nice book to show for their efforts. We will follow this by beginning poetry soon.
Diversity day is Thursday. Many parents have mentioned that too many emails are coming home for this event. We assure you that it is in an effort to make this days as special as possible and we thank you for your support of this day. We will be visiting with middle school buddies in the morning and having some fun with special activities. After the big assembly we will enjoy lunch together and gather again to celebrate the new library. Special class offering will be held in the afternoon. The students were given the opportunity to choose from different classes and their selections will be sent home soon.
Friday, we will have our second installment of "See What's Hanging". This if you remember is a chance for the kids to respond to please for help from middle school students who participate in a Micro Worlds class. This is always a great group experience and much is gained from the exercise.
It appears that the lice has made a return. Please be diligent in checking your children before school.
Thank you
