With only two weeks left until the winter break we will be busy bees in M29. We will spend the next two weeks finishing our study of the Washoe Indian tribe. So far we have mapped the Washo and neighboring Indian territories and discussed the definition of many Washoe words. We have also learned about the occupations of the washoes, their clothing, and the seal of the Washoe Tribe. In our last two weeks we will be learning about their food, shelters, and basket making. We will conclude our study with an informative writing piece on the Washoe tribe.
This Thursday is our field trip to the Gatekeepers Museum to see many Washoe artifacts. If your child has not returned their permission slip please send it back to school as soon as possible. We will be leaving promptly at 9:00 and will back to school by 1:00. If you are planning to meet us there please try to stop by the office in the morning to sign in as a visitor if possible.
Finally, On Friday, December 17thth we will be having a holiday party and book exchange. Each child should bring a wrapped book to school by next Thursday the 19th. It can be a new book or a gently used book from home that your child would like to give to a classmate. The book should come to school wrapped with a tag that reads To: My friend From: Your child. Please don't put a specific student's name on your book as the students will be taking turns selecting a book they would like to unwrap. Also, please make sure the book you send is age appropriate and gender neutral if possible. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Have a great week!
