"A Minute of Peace!" - News Report
Welcome Back Parents and Students! A Minute of Peace News Report is glad to announce the upcoming events of this new semester! This semester I have great plans for us to explore and embrace the importance of cultural diversity. We will also focus on how we individually can contribute to our communities. This will be a semester filled with exciting activities and experiences we all will learn from while spreading positivity.
Adding on a New Morning Policy!
Our topics will simply range from "a new food you tried and found either strange or delightful", "a time you helped somone outside of your family", and or " a wish you could grant". Topic suggestions are open and can be added to our topic box raffle. I look forward to see and hear some wonderful experiences and thoughts!
What Have We Covered and What's Next?
We successfully covered the topics of:
- Developing and recognizing the fluency in our reading and writing
- Comprehending material as we read
- We learned the importance of prewriting and can now apply our prewriting strategies
- How to expand our vocabulary in writing and in speech
What's next!
Our next topics will fall under the Florida standard LAFS.3.RL.1.2
I am very excited for the next 9 weeks! We will be focusing and learning how to recount stories, including fables, folktales, and myths from diverse cultures. In doing so we will cover:
- Determining the central message, lesson, or moral

Multiculturalism and Global Citizenship
Our goal for this semester is to become aware of existence in our global community. This being said we also start doing weekly current events.
I want all of my students to know that they are all incredible individuals and their precious existence is important for our global community.
At the end of the semester we will have a project presentation due April 28th. Each student will present to the class a poster board describing how they can help impact the community they are in.
This Semester We Have An Awsome Field Trip Planned!!
To further enhance our awareness of diversity and multiculturalism our third class will have the opportunity to participate on March 25th, Friday in the Disney Youth Education Series Introduction To Global Citizenship. In this program our students will discover how technology, communication and commerce have bridged cultural gaps around the world as you navigate the international pavilions of Epcot® World Showcase.
February 12th, Friday - We will have a parent meeting in our school cafeteria to discuss and plan fundraising opportunities for our Disney trip. It will be held after school at 7:30pm we will also have refreshments served.
