Soup Fest
Wednesday, November 23 from 10:30 - 11:20
This month we are learning about the homeless, less fortunate, and the function of soup kitchens. We will read several books on this topic in order to gain a greater awareness of the needs of other cultures. Check out our Shelfari to see the books we are reading daily in the classroom. We are having a Soup Fest to further our understanding of the concepts. Please join us on the 23rd for soup and crackers!
Books & Bites
Light appetizers, desserts and coffee will be available.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Conferences begin this Thursday, November 17th. This year we are limited to 20 minute intervals for each conference. Please be prompt as many conferences are scheduled back to back. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Whole-Body Listening Larry at School
We have been reading a book about how to be a good listener at school. Listening Larry has taught us how to listen with watching eyes, quiet mouths, still feet, listening ears, still hands, bodies facing the speaker, thinking brains, and caring hearts (empathy).
Students helped create a chart that helps remind them to be good listeners with their whole body. You can learn more about the program and the book, here at Social Thinking.com.
