Other Announcements
Canvas page updates
This week in the Diverse Book Room, I’ll be featuring a book called Separate is Never Equal by Duncan Tonatiuh. This book focuses on equality, segregation, racial integration, and belonging. Check out my family discussion ideas for after the read aloud. To review books that I have already featured, click on the book icon below the couch.
Spotlight Awards
Check out the Spotlight Awards for February on the Welcome to SME Canvas page, or click on the link in the SMORE. I am so proud of the kiddos for being so resilient through this difficult learning time.
African American History Bee
PUSD will be holding a virtual African American History Bee this year for 3-8th graders on February 24th at 5pm. If you have a 3rd, 4th or 5th grader that is interested in representing SME, please have them write a paragraph to me explaining why they feel they would best represent SME and email it to me by February 17th. I will then work with the teachers to pick two candidates from each of the grade levels.
