Happy Friday!!
Biography Buddies
Next week, we will begin our writing unit on biographies. Over the weekend, please brainstorm with your child who they would like to research and write about. Please have students bring in a book or internet article about that person.
We will be doing all of the writing and research in school. The At Home piece- is creating a Biography Buddy. A cut out was sent home that each student needs to decorate to look like the person they are writing about. That's the only piece required to complete at home! If you would like to help your child research at home that's also fine! Biography Buddies will be due Wednesday, March 20th to display in the hall!
Kindergarten Playground Fundraiser:
The Kindergarten classes are holding a golf fundraiser to raise funds for a new Kindergarten playground. The Kindergarten team asked us to pass along the following message, which I am copying and pasting from their email:
"Our Kindergarten team and the PTA is raising monies for a special needs/ kindergarten playground. We are organizing a golf outing on March 29th!! Flyers went out last week with information but here are some more ways you can help!
1. Play Golf- Sign up to play with friends or for the Kids Camp(only 16 spots for kids camp)
