Happy Friday!  We have been quite busy over the past two days.  The students have created illustrations of a specific talent that each child possesses.  Ms. Hines has turned each illustration into a puzzle piece. The project discussion focused on our individual talents are only a small puzzle piece, but if we put all of our talent pieces together we create a beautiful and completed puzzle. This puzzle is now on display on a bulletin board in the classroom.  Please feel free to stop in and see it.

The students also started creating an image of themselves.  They spent the morning coloring in a body template.  Next week we will use these images for a bigger class project.  I will write more about this as we go.

FRIDAY IS FAVORITE JERSEY DAY
During Morning Meeting, the students were all asked to share their favorite piece of clothing.  One of the students shared that their favorite piece of clothing was his JETS t-shirt.  It led to a much deeper discussion about all of the activities that we do and teams that we route for.  We have decided to make Fridays a day where we wear our favorite team shirt, jersey, or uniform.  This may look like a shirt from their own team that they play on, a professional teams apparel, a dance shirt, or a favorite t-shirt.  This is meant to be fun and a chance to do something together.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Peace,
Tom
