Dear Parents,
Snap! Snap! What a wonderful event! I can not be more proud of my class of poets! I hope you enjoy reading their poems and looking at their beautiful illustrations. Your child did an amazing job reciting a mentor poem and reading an original work of art. Hopefully, poetry will be a life-long love for your child. I’m so glad that I got to share my very first Coffee House Poetry with this group of kiddos. I will always remember today. Thank you to the Homeroom Moms for purchasing and setting up drinks and for decorating the room. Also, a special thanks to It's a Grind for providing coffee for parents. We appreciate you!
(If you have a great photo of Coffee House Poetry, please send it to me. My picture did not come out well.)
Wonder:
After enjoying the novel Wonder together as a class, it is only fitting that we enjoy the movie together as well! Tuesday, December 5th at 3:30 there is a showing of WONDER at Lakeline Alamo Draft House. This is a non-sponsored school event, just something we thought we could enjoy outside of class together. If your child is able to attend they need to be under adult supervision - either a parent or a parent of a friend if you are unable to attend yourself. I hope you can join us for this fun event. Be sure to purchase your tickets early. Two other classes will be joining us!
From Jenn Smith:
Welcome to a new year of Robolab! This fall, your 4th graders will learn how robots use sensors to navigate their environments - including extraterrestrial ones. We'll use Lego EV3 kits to build, program, and customize planetary rovers, then test them in our Planetary Exploration Lab. Parent volunteers help make Robolab even more fun for everyone. You do not need to know anything about Legos or programming; you only need to encourage the students to solve problems and supervise them while they build, program, and test their creations. Note that you will need to be registered as a volunteer through RRISD; there is more information at the link below.
