Week 35

5/21/2013

 
We just finished our first-ever Poetry Slam, and it was a hit! I was SO proud of ALL of my students for their careful preparation and presence of mind onstage. They delivered quite a show! And I'm also extremely grateful to all of our families who were able to attend. We had an excellent turn-out and lots of encouragement from those who came. Thank you SO much for taking the time to share this special learning experience with us!

Now that we're finished with Poetry Slam, it's time to explore the world of "grown-ups" for a few days ... Ms. Gaillard, Mrs. Thompson, and I are working together to teach our students how to earn money and how to spend it. In my class, each student will chose a career to become an expert on. S/he will learn about the responsibilities involved, the education required, and the salary for the job and be prepared to share that information with the class. In math classes, students will learn about the different expenses that come with adulthood and how to create a budget based on the salary for their job. The students are very excited about this study, and I'm sure they'll be coming home ready to ask you questions and hear your advice!

Our calendar is going to be very busy for the next 3 weeks, so be sure to check the News + Events page and, as always, keep an eye on your child's take-home folder for information and reminders. Let's make this a wonderful week!
