Students have two extra hours off today so I hope they use that time wisely to play and enjoy the break from the coming rain we are sure to have! I know I want to be out there enjoying it!
With the colder weather means that students should really be bringing some kind of outer layer - whether that is a coat, sweatshirt, vest, etc. so that when students are outside playing they aren't getting too cold or wet. Also with that cold, rainy weather comes sickness. :( With a class of only 19 right now, we definitely notice when even one person is missing so as the flu and colds start to go around, it will run through our class so quickly. Please emphasize with your student the importance of washing hands - we take a stop at the bathroom every day before lunch to wash up and it is amazing how fast students seem to be able to wash their hands! I have already started to hear coughing and complaints of sore throats so try to get plenty of rest, fluids and hand washing in!
Permission slips came home on Monday for the field trip next Friday to the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. Please sent the slip and money ($5) to school ASAP. We are still in need of at least one more chaperone, so if you're able to join us, we would love to see you there!
Today we started learning about artifacts in social studies and how artifacts are what archaeologists use to get information about the past. On Friday, we are all going to be archaeologists of our own! Students each need to bring in an artifact that says something about themselves - baseball gloves, family portrait, anything that is special and tells more about themselves! Please help students find an artifact to bring in for Friday. If the artifact is too big to bring in, feel free to send me a picture printed off or via email and I can help with that. Write artifact on your student's planner for bonus points for tomorrow! :)
Enjoy your extra time off and I will see you all tomorrow!
