Dear Families,
Another
full and busy week together. And a
great focus on the
5-2-1-0
healthy lifestyle program this week.
The week started with “jovial” life sized vegetables and fruits (Jack
and Delia!!) greeting us off the
bus on Monday morning! And great job to our kitchen staff for focusing on
healthy food choices each day.
The
biography posters have been a great home
and school project. We all have
enjoyed watch the progress over the course of the week and hearing kids share
interesting bits of information about their famous person… names like Leonardo DiVinci, Genghis Khan, Ferdinand
Magellan, Elvis Presley, Hope Solo, Albert Einstein…
and of course Abraham Lincoln, Martin
Luther King Jr…
just to name a few. It is
interesting when connections can be made from one person to another, like the Wright
Brothers and Amelia Earhart. Next week we will build our “hall of fame”
in the hallway after short presentations from each researcher.
We
have been having a persuasive writing share
this week because all of our writers’ have finished
their writing. Big round of
applause to all of our writers!
And lucky you, families… the final drafts are coming home today for you
to hear (and perhaps be persuaded…J) Please make time to listen and respond on
the family share paper over the weekend.
Afterwards could you help remind your kiddo to bring
back the writing so we can put it into the portfolio. Thank you for your help with this.
On
Thursday we had a presentation and short puppet show about Safe
and Non Safe Touch.
Check in with your child and have them tell you the gist of it. An important message was reviewed…
Lastly, just a reminder that next Wednesday is an early release. Thanks for all the home support each day. Warm
regards~
