Friday, September 21st, is The International Day of Peace. The Lower Division community will gather on that morning at 8:15. Families are welcome to join us in the courtyard.
Ms. Diaz Leroy is teaching the children (K-4) a special song about peace. Mrs. Rowe will have an exhibit of children's art on display in the breezeways. Ms. Deegan's class will share writings about peace. We will play music while, as a community, we build a rock garden. Ms. Pierce will then lead us in a "Peace" closing song.
Parents, we need your help with the rock garden. Please have your child find a rock that will fit in the palm of his/her hand. Have your child decorate the rock, keeping the purpose in mind. We suggest acrylic paints, permanent markers, colored pencils, or any combination of those. Mrs. Rowe has agreed to varnish the rocks if they are turned in by Tuesday, 9/18.
Please consider joining us for a peaceful start to the day.
In class we started "Paws for Reading". Please read the letter sent home today. I have included a reading log to document time spent reading each day along with a pledge card to be signed and returned to class. The students were very excited to pick their team today and read to help kids in need gain books from Scholastic. There is no charge for this program, but we do need your help to document the minutes online at www.scholastic.com/paws.
We will have our first math test this Thursday. A practice spelling test will go home on Wednesday. Also, we have a spelling test and vocabulary test this Friday.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!
