It was so wonderful to have the chance to meet with 201 families yesterday. Each one of your children has a success story to share, and it was great to spend some one-on-one time with you! 201 extends special thanks to Olivia's mom, John's mom, and Malaika's mom for joining us at the Chicago History Museum today. We were treated to a performance by artists from the Chicago Maritime Festival. In addition to the music, we learned about how Chicago was once the second busiest seaport in the U.S.. Song and music traveled with the trade routes. I hope that this information will tie in well with our study of the Illinois Fur Trade and our Do Your P'Art Foundation activities. Our theme is water! We had a wonderful visit!
This weekend at home......
- read the Wish Giver. All kids should be up to page 70 by Monday. Don't forget your book.
- finish your Animal Project notes. Remember to organized notes by subtopic. Use bullet points to record information. Most kids are finished. We will work on our paragraphs in class next week. Don't forget to bring your notes to school!
- don't forget that the Animal Project diorama and research paper are due on Friday, May 1. Students should do the diorama at home. Students will write the rough draft of the research paper at school. They will publish at home.
