HAITIAN EMPATHY (see last paragraph for more info.)Good evening parents,
Tonight, (1) please listen to your child read. Ask him or her questions form the grren bookmark. They may answer the questions in their journal. (2) A journal entry for today needs to be made. Be sure to write the date on the page. Encourage your child to use capitlaization and end punctuation. We've already discsused this in class. They might be surprised that you, too, are informed.
Arya returned her booklet, About Trees. She underlined the parts that she liked. It looked like she really enjoyed reading the booklet.
Some students are taking home assignments that were not fully complete. We have some displays out, and their work is not put up because it is not complete. Please return it complete tomorrow. (ABOUT TREES)
Today, we also discussed the world crisis in Haiti. We also had an "empathy" activity where we tried to put ourselves in thier shoes. The students did not learn what the word empathy was today, but they did express it. Ask your child about it. They are very informed individuals.
