A slip is being sent home today asking for permission for your child to be able to watch PG movies. Although the note talks about Acknowledgements, the main purpose of the note is for your child to watch a movie about the Dust Bowl. We are beginning a unit on Historical Fiction. Students will be able to pick an era to study with a book club in class, but as a whole class we will be studying the Dust Bowl. We are going to use the movie to build background information for the unit. If you are interested in looking up the movie it is called "The Dust Bowl" by Ken Burns. We will begin watching the movie on Tuesday, so permission slips must be turned in by this day for your child to begin watching the movie.
Next week the school will be celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday with dress-up days connected to his books. A note was sent home regarding the theme for each day.
