Our Thankful for Video

Last week in Ibo while learning about Kwanzaa we talked a lot about our families and our communities. We also began a discussion of what it means to be thankful and what we find ourselves thankful for. Please enjoy this video that I have put together of their work.

Bat Week

We have had a great week learning all about bats! The "batman was great, we got to see 5 live bats. We have been reading books and watching movies about bats.

The short week of 11/1

This week in Language Arts we are going to be reading Where the Wild Things Are. We will be taking an in depth look at this book. We are examining the difference between fact and fantasy and how different people express different emotions and how we can cope with the emotions/ feelings that we have.
At the end of the week ( Friday) we are hoping to show the film and do a media comparison of the two works. About half of the students said they have already seen this movie but it will still benefit them to look at it from a different view. I took the classes to the theater to see this movie and complete this lesson with them and it was super a super rewarding lesson! 

Thanks for reading!

Please remember that winter uniforms begin on Monday, October 25th, if you have questions about the uniform please look to the bulletin board by the office!

Sorry!

Progress reports were to go home today however, they are still sitting on top of the student's mailboxes. I am going to put them in the mailboxes right now and they WILL go home Monday! Happy Weekend!

Book Orders

Just a friendly reminder that ALL of November book orders ( there are 4) are due on Friday. It is a really great opportunity to build your at home library with out spending a lot of money. There is ALWAYS a $1 book in every book order! I have also been talking to the children about saving money and setting goals. Some students have begun to bring in some spare change in hopes to reach their goal to get a book. I am happy to hold onto and keep track of their change as I think this is a valuable lesson in money saving.

Johnny Appleseed

Our readers theater presentation of Johnny Appleseed will be happening on Thursday, October 21st at 1:30 p.m. in the NTSD cafe. All are welcome and encouraged to join as both Hausa and Ibo will be presenting one followed by other.
