Literacy. Students are applying their informational reading skills in Writer's Workshop. Using what they understand about text features and text structures, students are planning for an information writing piece that teaches their readers about a topic. Also, students should be reading at least 30 minutes a day. You can support your child by asking him/her questions about the reading, and/or reading aloud with them.

Parents, make your thinking visible at home! Learning to be flexible in our thinking allows us to reflect and make meaningful connections to the world around us; therefore, a culture of thinking for active, healthy and mindful living is created!
Provide Time to Pursue Passions... We will soon embark on our Maracujá (passion learning) journey! Help your child prepare for this meaningful learning experience by providing your child with the space he/she needs to pursue passions and interests. As we approach our Maracujá, letting your child explore different areas of interest will foster a love for lifelong learning. Pay attention to your child's learning outside of school and purposely provide the time for him/her to fully engage in it. Pursuing our passions allows us to be inspired, to face challenges and to succeed (Ron Ritchhart, 10 Parent Applications, Project Zero at Harvard Graduate School of Education).
One School. One Community. One Graded.
International Women's Day... Take the time to review the presentation about International Women's Day. I wonder, who are the women in your life that have inspired you, challenged you, and have helped you to succeed?
