We Need to Talk
Please do not think that our elementary students are not likely to participate in the activity that is described in this third newsletter, because it has happened, and has been dealt with already, at our own school. The use of technology is often unsupervised and many parents "trust" their children to make moral decisions, but in reality they are not mature enough to handle that responsibility. The poor decisions that are made now have the potential to ruin many opportunities in the future, since nothing that is posted in any form on the internet can ever be fully erased.

Field Trip to Villanova
On Friday morning our class and others from our school travelled to Villanova High School to view the dramatic presentation of "Pinnochio Jr." Our very own Lindsay was part of the cast. In our opinion, she out performed the rest! Way to go! Upon our return, the students critiqued the play, for evaluation. Check out the photos!

We hope to see you at the Spring Craft, Bake, and Book sale at the school (in the gym), tomorrow from 10am - 4pm! Help to raise funds for classroom libraries! |
Since Friday was the last day to bring in items for our Mexican raffle basket, I thought you might like to see what it looked like before and after wrapping. Great job class! We brought in many items! Each student that contributed anything to our basket earned a Good News ticket for our draw, and a raffle ticket for the big day!

Also, please review all of the pages and my feedback with your child. They will be able to use this to assist with improving the quality for the next session which will be in May.

This week each group presented the fitness circuit that they created to the class, then we were able to try them all out. Afterwards, we gave constructive feedback to our peers in the form of a star and a wish. Next week our participation and effort will be evaluated, then the rubric will be sent home for a parent's signature. Check out the photos!
