Sorry it has been a little while since my last post- I was sick on Thursday and my Dad covered. The kids got a kick out of it and Mr. Groen has a great time. The kids said I can be sick again so he can come in again haha. A few kids were sick today, so there is something going around. Just a heads up to you to monitor and keep your kids healthy during this flu season (if possible).
Today we watched the movie The Peace Tree for the second time together. It is beautiful story of students in grade one coming together and finding peace at Christmas despite being different religions. One of the girls in the movie is Muslim and the other is Christians and they get excited for each other on Eid and Christmas even if they both don't celebrate it. The girls in the movie see their difference as special and exciting and it's about peace being the commonality. We talked about this together and the kids are at the perfect age to be understanding and generous. We have decided to make our own Peace Tree to teach others at our school about Peace. We want everyone to feel welcome during this holiday season. Also 2 literacy teams will have their first Spelling Test on Friday, Team Orange and Team Red. Ask your child if they are in these groups. The word list is: after like good on saw under all soon I will also send home a copy tomorrow in Home Reading. I am hoping to get the students spelling their sight words better every time they write! Thanks for your help with this. Take care! Stay healthy!
