Week 12: Cultural Luncheon

It was great meeting with you to check in. Your feedback and support has helped me so much this year and I appreciate all that you have done to help us have a productive learning experience. The children have spoken about their goals for this next marking period during our Morning Meetings and we are looking forward to an even better semester.

Here'e what to expect for next week:

• There will be a new assignment added to your child's Homework sheet next week. Each week, your child will receive a Reading Response task on Mondays. The assignment is due the first day of the following week. This ELA task is intended to help children practice making and inference and backing up their thinking with text evidence. This is a major Core Curriculum standard in ELA as well as a good life skill. Please help your child plan a day in the week to address this assignment. Children have been practicing writing reading responses in their notebooks this past semester. 
• We are moving forward to our next Social Studies topic, Culture. This week our big event is the Cultural Luncheon on Friday. Please look for reminders on Monday regarding the event. One frequently asked question is "How much food should I bring?" In the past, most families have brought enough food for each child to have a tablespoon sized portion. Some children choose only some plates. There will be plenty of food for each child and adults to try, thanks to your generosity. 
• Your child will receive their graded Mid Module assessment on Monday. Please check your child's folder for it. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
