Thank You for the Snack Donations!

November 4th, 2014                         

Dear 3-211 Families,

For the last 2 years our school received a Snack Grant. Everyday students were given a fruit or vegetable and it was amazing! With that snack we noticed that the class was able to sustain their focus for their morning’s academic work. This year, the grant was discontinued and the school no longer provides these great snacks.

Many students have asked about snacks. We are asking for your help to provide snacks to the class.

Some suggested snacks are:

• baby carrots
• pears
• bananas
• grapes
• graham crackers
• goldfish crackers
• wheat pretzels

We are sending home a calendar.  With 29 students and 2 teachers, if every family picks one day a month, we could have a snack every day.  If you can participate, please fill your child’s name on one day of the calendar. We would greatly appreciate your help and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!  

                                                   

Respectfully yours,

                                            Mrs. Esperon and Ms. Voigt

Telling Stories Through Music

We were fortunate enough to go to an assembly where musicians used three instruments  to tell a story entitled The  Little Ant that got Hurt. The musicians played a cello, a bass, and a clarinet. 

Vivian said she could feel the vibrations from her seat. 

The students were asked by the composer which parts of the music went with sections of the story. 

It was exciting to hear the art of storytelling combined with musical instruments.
