It is absolutely unfathomable that November is here. What a great year we have had so far, and what a great day we enjoyed on Friday. Thank you for coming and celebrating the efforts of our brave students, some of whom were performing for an audience for their very first time. Your support of their growth is appreciated.
I saw many of you out trick-or-treating on Saturday. Everyone seemed to be in frightfully ghoulish spirits and to have plenty of candy to enjoy. If interested there is a phenomenal way to continue the season’s fun. In support of our work with Rosetta Stone in learning Spanish, it might be fun to take a trip down to Old Town for their annual Dia De Los Muertos celebration. The last day is Monday night and there are many interesting cultural activities. We are so lucky to have opportunities to explore the broader world here in San Diego. Make sure you get out there from time to time.
This week in class we will be working on finishing up our Narratives for the Reflections show, which is happening this Wednesday evening in our school’s Multiple Use Room. We will also be writing and sending our letters to grandparents in order to gain information about how they lived as children and about family history. This is part of our new social studies unit about ancestors. It is always a revelation to children to learn about their families’ pasts. Unlike adults, they often like to hear the stories of the older generations. Enjoy some time talking about your family together.
As always, thank you for trusting me with your children each day. They are amazing.
