January Update
Hey parents!
Just wanted to let you know we are having a GREAT semester so far! Right now we are studying Transcendentalism. The students are reading work by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Tomorrow they will be bringing in posters they have created using lyrics from modern music – comparing those lyrics to the ideas of Transcendentalism.
You should also see them working on a journaling project. They will be creating 5 different journal entries between now and February 6. Just a few talking points you can have with your students!
We are also currently using our Fridays to focus on writing. The students are watching TED videos from the website www.ted.com. TED is a free educational website that features geniuses in every subject area talking about their passions. Students will take 5 different Fridays to choose one of those videos to summarize, blog about, and respond! Feel free to visit your student’s blog by visiting my website at www.mrswisehart.weebly.com.
Please also remember that every assignment, the classroom calendar, and handouts to print are at my website, and when your student is absent they can readily check what they missed.
Thanks again! I love every minute of working with your student! I learn something new from them every single day! E-mail me anytime with questions or concerns!
