As part of our nonfiction reading unit, we have been reading the book Freedom Walkers as a class. This book by Russell Freedman tells of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and events surrounding the Civil Right Movement. We’ll be talking about some heavy topics throughout the reading of this book. If you have any questions or concerns about the content, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at any time.
We are working through Chapter 14 in History Alive. Our focus is on the Constitution and our government.
As a reminder, the school snack policy is that students may only have a fruit or vegetable in it’s own skin for a morning snack. Lately I have been having many conversations with students who are bringing chips, crackers, granola bars, etc. If you could please reinforce at home that students may only bring a fruit or vegetable for snack, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Please check with your student to see the status of his/her school supplies. Many students no longer have scotch tape, pencils, and scissors. If your student can no longer locate his or her math or reading notebook, please send in a replacement as soon as possible.
Please note that on Wednesday, February 19th we will follow a Monday schedule.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and enjoy the long weekend! :)
