Studio Day and Modified Work for Peace Week, September 15-21

Happy Wednesday students and parents,

We've had a few changes this week in our schedule, so I'd like to make sure everyone is aware of some of the lessons being moved to honor our need to complete reading tests before parent conferences. Here is a chronological list of activities for the next few days, including our upcoming Studio Day on September 21.

Peace Week:
Wednesday, 9/16, Reading testing. Finish for homework and bring back if incomplete in class.
Thursday and Friday, 9/17-18, Peace Art Projects. Students are asked to create a visual, performing, or literary artwork for presentation on Friday at 2:30. The topic of the artwork must be to teach peacefulness in our school, homes, or community. Students will be graded on creativity, quality of art produced, and thoughtfulness toward the topic of peacefulness.

Monday, 9/21, Reflection paper. Students are asked to read three selections from the Assignments section of this blog and write a one-page reflection about the current state of peace in the world and their role in creating and maintaining peacefulness in our school, home, or community. Students need to cite examples from the selections they have read in their one-page reflection paper. This paper is due on lined paper Tuesday, 9/21.

Again, if you have any questions, please let me know! Mrs. K
