We had a great first three days back. I was able to test most of the kids for their current reading levels. I will finish the rest next week. Today the kids finished writing and publishing a class book that we started before vacation. It is a book all about using the playground safely. It will be on display in our classroom library.
Mr. Hubbard and I need your help! Part of the assessment on the sound unit is having kids create their own instrument in class. For this, we are seeking some supplies. Please read through the letter that Mr. Hubbard wrote and send in anything you might have.
*FYI: I goofed on the spelling of Britta's new last name: It is Lea not Lee
Have a great weekend.
Peace,
Tom
Dear Parents,
Mr. Young's class and Mr. Hubbard's class are currently
investigating sound as our science theme. We have numerous hands-on activities
planned and are even incorporating some music composition during the unit. Our final
project will require students to make an "instrument" at school. To
this end, we need certain materials to create our instruments. If you have any
of the following at home, we would greatly appreciate your help.
* metal cans
* beans
* Saran Wrap
* oatmeal containers
* tissue boxes
* paper towel/toilet paper tubes
* large rubber bands
* anything you think may help
Please send in supplies by next Friday. (Jan 11th)
