Random Act of Kindness Wednesday February 17th
Over the past few weeks, students have been working on showing random acts of kindness to their friends, families, and teachers. On Wednesday we will be creating "Bags of Blessings" as a surprise Random Act of Kindness for the Levine Children's Hospital.
Jump Rope for Heart
Students can start bringing in their envelopes on their day of PE starting the 18th.
Other Information:
- Math Stars will start back on Monday the 22nd
- We will be going on our final field trip on March 16th to the Alice Springs Greenway. We are going for their "History in a Backpack" event where students will travel through the Greenway learning about life long ago. Permission slips will be going home this week. If you are interested in chaperoning, please let me know.
- Below is the link to my Astronomy Unit Symbaloo page. This is a great resource for studying for the unit test. Moon Calendars, which are extra credit, are due on March 1st.
- My literacy block will be starting something called "Genius Hour" in March. This will be a time during the week when they can work on a "passion project." They will research and create something on a topic they are passionate about. I am really excited about this and think it will be a great avenue for children to demonstrate their creativity and innovation. Here is a short video about Genius Hour that explains the concept a little bit more. More information will come home shortly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMFQUtHsWhc
