Dear families and friends of Room 104,
In the past week we enjoyed exploring more about birds and identifying some of the most common birds in our area. We enjoyed new books from South Africa and Ghana and even learned more about the Xhosa language from South Africa.
Next week we will focus our continent study on Asia. Please share any cultural items, music, food, stories, books, or photographs with us this month from any country in Asia. We look forward to discovering more about the world's largest continent.
Several children have shared items from home and many parents have asked me, "Are they allowed to bring this to school?". We have a list of what is acceptable and unacceptable to share in the parent handbook.
There is not always time for us to share, but when something is very important to a child we find that the child will wait several days for just a few minutes. The best things to share are those things that link us directly to a popular topic, (such as our animal study, continent study, or book study). Please be mindful when sharing an item from home.
Hope to see everyone at Saturday's Family Fit and Fun Festival! Extra credit for every parent that attends.
All the best,
Ms. Joanna Boone
