Just a couple of updates:
1. No spelling test or regular homework this week. Instead the homework will focus on family traditions. This will be due on Monday. The students will present to our class.
We are continuing our unit on Family: Past & Present. During this unit we have discussed who the people in our family are, things we can do as families, and that families work and care for each other. This week we will be discussing what makes our families special. Chances are you have some special traditions and family habits that make your family unique. As an assignment, I am asking your child to bring back a “family story” or tradition that is special for their family. If possible, please help your child with one of the activities below, having them draw their story or tradition on the paper coming home. When they bring it back to school, they will retell their story to the class, from the picture they drew.
Find a family recipe.
Think about these questions:
Where did the recipe come from?
Does everyone in the family enjoy it?
How often is it served?
Who is in charge of preparing it?
Has anything funny ever happened as it was being made?
2. The Roaring Reader program is back and will be sent home by Friday. This is an opportunity for students to earn a day pass to Roaring Springs by reading.
Think about these questions:
Where did the recipe come from?
Does everyone in the family enjoy it?
How often is it served?
Who is in charge of preparing it?
Has anything funny ever happened as it was being made?
Ask a parent or grandparent to tell you a story about when you were younger.
Describe a family tradition- something your family does each year to celebrate a holiday or special occasion.
3. The Volunteer calendar will be updated by Friday at 3:45. I will be attempting to post the calendar through March.
Again, Happy New Year!!
Melissa :)
