Opera Piccola Tomorrow Night

Tomorrow, the class will present a script written by the students in Room 201. Over the past ten weeks, Susannah Woods has helped the students to hone their drama craft. I would love as many students as possible to be present. The performance will begin at 6:30 and will last for about an hour. Remind your child to wear dark pants and a dark shirt (preferably black with no writing on the shirt.)

Thank you,
Miss Klein

Apology

Hello!

I am so sorry I have fallen behind on my blogging. As some of you may be aware, I have been a little under the weather over the past month or so. I have had on-going stomach problems that I seem to have exacerbated to the point that I have had to seek medical attention. I am beginning to feel better, with the help of a good deal of medication, but I am still not a hundred percent. Regardless, I apologize for falling behind in my attempts to regularly report on the events of the classroom.

Thank you,
Miss Klein

This week, we will begin some new units of study. Over the next month, in mathematics we will be focusing on FRACTIONS. In social studies, we will be learning about life in the colonies and the beginnings of the United States. In language arts, we will begin the class novel "The Sign of the Beaver." Finally, we will move away from the dramatic arts and return our focus back to visual art and studying the masters.
