The Week Ahead

Hello Parents,
Let's take a look at our week ahead:

1. American Revolution Simulation
   For our History Unit, the students will become a part of the past as they reenact the events surrounding the American Revolution. They will choose roles and play as Loyalists, Patriots, or Neutralists. They will keep a journal to record their experiences, design a character and take on a colonial job, and understand all of the events that led to and ended the American Revolution. The students will really enjoy this one!

2. Project Lead the Way
In class, the students have been taking part in our Project Lead the Way Program. Their task is to design and build a robot that serves a particular function in case of a disaster. They have become familiar with the iPads, have researched and looked into the history of robotics, and this week the project will get them into the hands-on portion. More updates will come as the project unfolds. 

3. Valentine's Day
This Friday we will have a Valentine's Day party. If your child would like to bring treats for the class, as well as cards, please feel free to do so. I will email a list of student names to your personal emails. Thank you!

4. BOX TOPS Contest
For the next two weeks, SRA is having a Box Top Contest. The class with the most box tops will receive a prize. Thank you very much for all of the box tops we have received so far! Please keep them coming!
