Live... From New York... It's literacy in the content area!

Since attending the Teacher's College Reading and Writing Institute last week, I have been incorporating literacy into our enrichment classes. In social studies, we were in the middle of our "Important Americans" unit when I returned from New York. I decided to end the unit with the students writing a literary piece instead of our usual poster. The assignment was to pretend that they WERE this person, think about the important things that happened to them, then write a story about that important event (like it happened to them).

Picture Day

Picture Day is March 11th.  The only thing that has to be pre-paid is the class picture.  Even if you don't want the class picture, send the picture form back with your child's name on it and the pose that you want for individual pictures.  This will be the last opportunity for pictures this year!

Spanish 2 Food Day-Feb. 16

We're celebrating Carnaval!!  In the U.S., it is better known as Mardi Gras.   We will be learning the origins and finding out how Spanish-speaking countries celebrate through the end of this week. 

On Thursday, your student will probably come home and say "I need materials to make a mask!"  There will be a couple of options for what costume pieces students want to make, but they will need to bring these materials on Friday, Feb. 12, to make their mask or other costume piece.  We will work on these in class, but they may need to be finished at home over the weekend.

Then on Tuesday, Feb. 16, we will have a Carnaval feast!  Students are in groups of 3, and have chosen a Carnaval food to make and bring in on this day. 

These projects are intended to be culturally enriching and fun, and should not be too expensive or stressful on students OR parents.  If there is any problem that could cause a student to be unable to contribute adequately to these projects, please let me know as soon as possible.

Spanish 1 Food Day-Feb. 12

This Friday is a food day in Spanish 1.  We will be discussing the Latin American origins and history of chocolate.  To celebrate, students are paired or grouped and should be researching some creative ways to use chocolate for more than just cakes, brownies, or cookies.  The foods do not have to be Hispanic foods, but there are many good recipes  that are.  

Students will bring their dishes on Friday and we will have a chocolate feast!

Having a hard time finding ideas?  Try the Hershey's site:

http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipes/search-results.asp?CategoryPage=true&keyword=chocolate&category_id=30

And don't forget about Mexican Mole!  I have a good recipe for that (with chicken). 

This project should be fun and challenging, but it should not be expensive or cause any stress on students or parents.  If there is any problem with a student being able to bring something or contribute to your group in some way, that student should please let me know.
