This week is short but sweet. We will be preparing for goal setting conferences by talking about individual strengths and needs and setting personal goals. Your Swallow will share these goals with you and I at their conference.
On Wednesday we will make our first trip as a class to the Forest Grove Public Library. We will be using this library during project work and for research soon. This trip is to practice the expectations and navigation of the library with the goal to celebrate our love of books and to bring back a “just right book” to read in the classroom and at home.
In order to check out books, your child will need to have a current library card with them. I will not be able to check books out for students. Library cards are free and you just need proof of address to get one. Many Swallows opt to leave their cards in the classroom so we have it when we go. I have a folder that I keep students cards in. Of course, we will have the opportunity to read while there, so checking a book out is optional.
This month we continue exploration of maps and culture, through partnerships, art and backyard study.
