April 3, 2013

Dear Parents,

Reading Restaurant is coming up: mark your calendars, reserve your seats, and help your child plan a simple costume.

Mark your calendars!:  we will have our Reading Restaurant on Thursday, April 18th. It's an evening event where parents, brothers, sisters, and grandparents can reserve a seat and then come to "dine" on your child's writing from this year. The students come dressed up as an animal (you can bend a coat hanger, stick some cardboard ears on it, and  draw some facial whiskers if you want to be a fox, for example). They all have a job such as cook, maitre d', waiter, busperson, etc. and it will be their pleasure to serve you!

We chose our restaurant name today: The Northern Lights Cafe.
We also chose our jobs and our shifts. Your child will be in the first shift or the second shift
(tentatively, the shifts  go: 6:00-6:45 and 7:00-7:45). I will notify you in the next couple of days with the exact times.

Reserve your seats by email: how many people from your family -- aside from the child I teach -- will be attending? Please email your number to me so we can plan our table  arrangements.

Help your child  plan a simple costume. Students can pick any animal that inhabits the Arctic Tundra
(ex: Arctic Fox, Reindeer, Polar Bear, Grizzly Bear, Snowy Owl, Lemming, Goose, Wolverine, Penguin, etc.)

More info to come...

Four Winds is this Friday. Please Dress Warmly.


... a note from Kim Jennings, our Four Winds coordinator...

Good Morning,

Just a reminder that we will be presenting the 4Winds program this coming Friday from 8:30 - 10:00.  This month's lesson is called, Galls Galore, and in it, we'll be looking at how some insect species spend most of their life cycle inside a gall - which is a growth on plants that provides the insect with food, shelter and protection.

Kids, please dress appropriately as we will be going outside on a "gall hunt".

- Kim Jennings

That's all for now, Folks. 

Mr. B.
