Weekly Update
Updates:
We are having issues with kids bringing candy and gum to school. We discussed that unless we are having a special treat day, candy and gum need to stay at home. With possible warmer weather coming our way, please remind your child to bring boots to school. Without boots, kids need to stay on the pavement. Thank you!
This group of kids have been amazing through the curriculum piloting! The kids don't know it yet, but we are going to celebrate the end of Module 2 in Arts & Letters by watching the video "Hugo." We read the book "The Inventions of Hugo Cabret" as part of this module. The kids loved it! The movie is PG. If you don't want your child to watch the video, please let me know by Wednesday at 11:00. We will watch the movie over two days.
Since "The Inventions of Hugo Cabret" was such a hit, we are now we reading "Wonderstruck" by the same author as our read aloud. We will also continue to use the Arts & Letters Module 3 and the Functional Morphology curriculums for rest of this year.
Students asked about the Valentine's Day celebration. Students can decorate and bring in Valentine's Day boxes from home OR decorate a bag at school. If your child is making a box at home, please send it in on Friday, February 13th. If you want to send cards, here is the class list. We will have a classroom celebration for Valentine's Day on the afternoon of Friday, February 13th.
