Family Night
Tomorrow night, Wednesday, March 2, is the BIG MAGIC SHOW featuring The Great Raguzi!!! We'll start the evening with a Spaghetti Dinner for only $1 per person. After dinner, we'll have a book exchange. Bring a gently used book with you -or a few books if you can. You'll get to exchange your book for a "new" one. After the dinner and the book exchange, students will be treated to a FREE magic show while the parents attend a language arts workshop with the teachers.
Skill Blitz:
Yesterday I described how readers can make inferences to piece together what the author is decribing but not stating directly. In math, your teacher could just tell you the formula and say "just multiply the numbers!" But instead, they pose an essential question, they provide a time for interactive learing- where you work with other students and try out some different ways to solve a problem. Then you watch the visual learning bridge video to help you see a good way to solve the problem. When you first hear the essential question, you may infer that you'll need to multiply two numbers...but the teacher doesn't tell you that right away so that you can grapple with the problem yourself...just like how you may try to fit together the pieces of the puzzle. You can use your inferencing skills in other subjects-even math!
Lunch and Attendance:
For lunch, you have two choices, the Farm Fresh Salad Bar, or the hot lunch. Please take a look at the sample salad that is displayed at the front of the salad bar...doesn't it look yummy? You don' have to make an inference to know what the hot lunch is today (because I'm going to tell you directly:
If you would like to have a hot lunch, please raise your hand.
Teachers, please take a count and make a note on your online attendance form.
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance!
High Expectations:
There's no choice, achieving your personal best is required every day at Emerson!
