Dear Room 202 families,
Thank you for helping your students with their immigration projects! They are so proud of their family stories.
Upcoming events and other information:
1. Homework. We sent homework home today, due next Friday.
2. Specials. We have two more weeks of Art with Ms. Reed.
3. Day of Peace and Kindness. September 21 we celebrate a Day of Peace and Kindness with special activities for the students. Students should wear a WHITE TOP that day. If they are allowed by you to do so, they may allow others to write messages of peace on the backs of their shirts. If you or they do not wish to do this, they won’t have to do it!
3. Website. Please see my website http://brownroom202.weebly.com/ (also linked to the Brown website) for details about our daily schedule and procedures.
4. Immigration unit of inquiry. Students are reading and thinking a lot about why people would move from one home to another and they are looking into their own family immigration stories. On October 2 students’ “Family Project” is due. Instructions and requirements for this project were sent home this week. On October 9 we will conduct an Ellis Island simulation. Information about the simulation was sent home this week and volunteers are requested.
5. Library. We have Brown library checkout every other Tuesday. Students are allowed to check out four books in fourth grade. They may take the library books home but they are responsible to replace the books if they are lost or not returned. Please help your student find and return books that belong to the Brown DPS library (and also books marked “Gormley” or “Room 202” – those are mine and are not supposed to go home at all). Thank you!
Thank you!
