Week 13

Weekly Greetings!

Hopefully this week will be a little warmer than the last, and I would like to remind you again to send warm winter gear with your child each day. They will play outside for recess down to 20 below and some students still do not have snow pants or winter boots.

Last week few by with a few additional events to supplement our usual routine. On Wednesday, the class watched a play put on by the high school drama class, and then the school counselor came into class to discuss bullying. He presented a well-done video by a young music celebrity that seemed to really resonate with the class. He will return in a few weeks to continue this focus on social skills.

The highlight to the week was on Friday when the class participated in the Veterans Day program. They waited patiently for their part in the program and were so respectful through the whole program.

It began with the flag ceremony, some patriotic songs, and special readings from a variety of students. There was also a special speaker.

There was a role call of veterans attending the ceremony, and then each branch of the military was honored using their theme song. The students all wore patriotic hats and did a great job on all the songs they sang. It was a wonderful way to end the week.

The students will be continuing work on the district writing assessment this week, in addition to our regular reading and math programs.

I hope you have an awesome week!

Kind Regards,

Julie Brown
