Good Evening Families:
I am up and at 'em again. Thank you for being so patient, supportive and understanding last week while I was out sick. I caught the bug that has been circulating throughout our classroom--fever, chills, sore throat. I hope that tomorrow I will be at full strength. I am excited to see the kids, and hear about the many fun and exciting things that happened at school.
When I chatted with some of my teammates, I heard how fun the community hallway was. The dentist office that our class put together was a huge success. The passports that students brought home on Friday are from the community hallway experience--they traveled to seven different community "buildings" put on by each class. In order to get a sticker, they had to identify the building, and explain how its workers contribute to our community.
We will be starting our new PYP unit called Sensational Senses tomorrow. There will be a purple sheet in the students' folders that details the unit. We are excited to learn about the scientific process, experiments, and the five senses.
Please look for Peek at the Week calendars to come home tomorrow. I apologize that my sub did not get them into folders on Friday.
I have my camera all charged up and ready to take pictures of our class hard at work this week.
Looking ahead to Friday: This week's show and tell is to bring in a mystery sound object. Students can find something creative at home that makes a sound. They will keep their object hidden while they make its sound and the rest of the class will use their sense of hearing to guess what the object is. Try putting coins in a sock, rice in a bag, or beans in a can. Be as creative and tricky as you can. Show and Tell bags will come home on Wednesday. Please remember to return bags on Friday so they can be reused again.
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend in the snow! Winter is upon us.
