Lower School Update - April 15, 2019

The Eagle’s Nest
Two classes were awarded the Golden G award today for demonstrating the Eagle Way. Congratulations to Ms. Burnquist’s first grade class and Ms. Fitch’s third grade class!

Semana Literária
Next week students will celebrate Portuguese literature during their Portuguese classes. There  will be guest speakers and storytellers from the greater community. Vamos celebrar a palavra: a palavra escrita, a palavra lida, a palavra falada. Além dos alunos compartilharem seus trabalhos, também receberemos autores convidados.
 
Demonstrating Perseverance
Your child might enjoy this series of videos that tell the  story of Panyee Football Club in Thailand. Several years ago, Panyee FC found a way to create a soccer pitch so that youth could play the game they loved, despite being a floating fishing village. They found success and support in their community and around the world.  Over time, they were able to upgrade their facilities. Recently, they have been able to upgrade again. Watch the links in the order they are placed in this paragraph to see this story of creativity, teamwork, perseverance, and patience.
