This is an interesting and short week. The first two days were totally routine; we had a chance to focus on reading, writing and math each morning. Wednesday and Thursday are anything but normal. Today we will start the day with an assembly, "Journey Brazil" featuring stories and dance from South America. After recess and P.E. we will end the morning with West African dance with our artist in residence Habiba. This afternoon we will be heading to Ms. Andrew's classroom for art. Tomorrow morning we have our last visit with Habiba and we will have a rare morning visit to the library.
Run for the Arts is Thursday afternoon. This is always a fun event and begins around 12:45. Please be sure to have your child bring in his/her sponsor sheet tomorrow.
Don't forget - there is no school Friday due to a teacher planning day! I will be here working on report cards. These should come home next Friday.
Here are a few themes for the week:
Theme book: "Mayday, Mayday"
Book study: African folktales
New letter: Xx
New words: Week two of yellow, green, blue
Math: More addition
Star of the week: Malachi
