Hello Parents,
We have had a full week of learning. We learned about the Nile River and why it was important to the ancient Egyptian people. We learned about the pyramids and the Great Sphinx. We learned about Dr. Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, also known as “King Tut.” Our class had an extra treat today: We took a “15-minute field trip” to the upstairs hallway where we saw the display of the sarcophagi that the sixth graders created. The sixth grade students acted as our “tour guides,” and they taught our class interesting facts about ancient Egypt, and lessons about each individual sarcophagus! EGYPT C.E.T. - Our first grade team will finish our study of ancient Egypt next week, and we will conclude the unit with our C.E.T. activities. Please consider how you might be able to volunteer. Here is a link to the sign-up genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0b48a5aa2ba5f58-1stgrade5 COATS - As the weather is getting colder, please be sure to send warm jackets or coats with your child. Some of our students are wanting to sit inside rather than going out to play because they are not bringing jackets to school. Please label all of these outerwear items as well - we want to be sure that they are returned quickly if they become lost. CONGRATULATIONS - Tyler is our November Ambassador of Courage. Tyler is so confident and is willing to try any task. He works so hard each day to learn and to reach his personal best. Congratulations Tyler. I am so happy to be working with all of you. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to teach your fantastic children each day. Have a great weekend!
