I'm sorry I have not been able to publish the students' Ecuador video yet. There's been some technical issues with uploading it to the internet, but Ms. Perkins and I are working on it and will have it up as soon as we are able. The students worked really hard on it, and I'm anxious to share it with everyone! In the meantime, here are some pictures of the artwork we've done:
The class is going on a field trip on Monday, October 29 to see The Magic Flute, which Lyric Opera of Chicago will be performing at a local high school. The Lyric Opera has been generous enough to donate books for all the students with information about operas, Mozart, and The Magic Flute. I encourage you to look at these with your students, since I think the students will get more out of the experience if they see the opera with some prior knowledge!
We've started drafting our Day of the Dead paragraphs, honoring loved ones who have passed away. These should be finished by October 31. We'll have time in class on the 26th and 31st to create our ofrendas for those we honor. Please make sure to send in a shoebox and any other pictures or mementos you and your child would like to include.
We have a few tests coming up: the religion test on the first three commandments is on Wednesday, October 24, and the science test on ecosystems and food chains is on Monday, October 29. We will also have an English test and social studies test in about 2-3 weeks. The end of the quarter is Friday, October 26, and conferences will be on Sunday, November 4.
