Little Elk River News
A quick update about this week. It's a full 5 days before Spring Break starts:
- Monday, March 26: Timeline of Life Open House in Little Elk, 10:15 - 11:00 a.m., for other students in Elementary. We will be displaying our dioramas and reports, and answering questions.
- Wednesday, March 28: iRace, a school-wide discussion about ethnicity, race and racism led by adolescents.
- Thursday, March 29, Poetry Read Aloud: We will be putting on a Poetry Read with Shingobee River in the afternoon. It's our second effort performing and reading poetry. This time, children are encouraged to read/perform one of their own poems, but they may also read another author's published poem if they choose. We've been throwing a variety of poetic forms against the wall in order to see which ones stick.
- Friday, March 30: On Friday morning we will be celebrating our birthdays collectively. Earlier this year the Little Elk Council decided on dedicating an entire week to each person's birthday. You may remember this from the Nov 16 newsletter:
Mini-Me Monday: Bring in 2-3 photos (or a small album) of your childhood to share with the class
Treat Tuesday: Bring a healthy treat to share with the class
Wild Wednesday: Choose a song to sing with the class
Throwback Thursday: Bring an object to share with the class (Show & Tell)
Freedom Friday: Sit where you want at Lunch.
However, the first five people on the schedule did not participate. So instead of not celebrating anyone's birthday all year—which is where we were headed— we've decided to honor all of us on one day. That will happen this Friday. So your child may do any or all of the following: Bring in 2-3 photos (or a small album) of your childhood; bring a healthy treat to share; bring an object for Show & Tell.
- Friday, March 30: Game Day begins at 12:45 pm. And at 3:00, welcome to your Spring Break!
- And lastly, thanks to the Thomases for donating Forbidden Island, a cooperative board game!
