Students have been busy getting ready for their culminating Social Studies events next week. Second graders have done a fabulous job filming their commercials for the Job Fair. These will be shown during the fair on Thursday as well as at All School Meeting on Wednesday. You will LOVE them! We also enjoyed visits from Mira's Aunt Susu and Kelly Pelissier (Maddy's mom). They shared about their respective professions, dentistry and graphic design.
Third Graders are eagerly getting ready for the Asian Banquet which will take place on Tuesday. They have been making podcasts as a culmination of their research about Japanese holidays. In addition, they have been thinking about descriptive words to use in their Haiku poetry. We finished reading Sadako and The Thousand Paper Cranes and children are making their own kokeshi dolls.

What You Need to Know About Next Week:
Second Grade Families
The Job Fair is on Thursday, March 11th from 8:30-9:30 in the Commons. There will be a parent-run food booth as part of the celebration.

Third Grade Families
The Asian Banquet is on Tuesday, March 9th from 11:30-12:45. We will enjoy an Asian-themed lunch together.
Children do not need to purchase special clothes for this event. If they have a karate-style outfit, or a kimono, they may wear it. Otherwise we have many Asian style clothes here at school that they may wear on that day.

Have a wonderful weekend. We look forward to celebrating with you all next week!
