Community Outreach

               

 The holidays are just around the corner, so for this week, we will take a look at the upcoming holidays, what they mean to us, and how we can ensure that everyone in our reach feels loved. Although we think about our neighbors often, this time of year where it is especially important to focus our interests on the needs of others in our community. What are some ways that you can help thy neighbor? For example, Thanksgiving is approaching and this is a holiday where we spend quality time bonding with our loved ones. Are there people in our community that perhaps do not have family near by? What can we do to put a smile on their faces to make them feel special? In thinking about the next couple of months, I thought of one way I can bring cheer to those who are less mobile than I. By bringing in games, such as Bingo or Cards to a nursing home, I think I will be able to reach at least 20 of our neighbors and bring a smile to their face! The spirit of giving is wonderful! Please let us know how you hope to bring good cheer to those around you! :)

             

Fire Safety!

      

     For this week, we learned about fire safety and what it means to have a plan in place in case of an emergency. Using the safety plan that you created with your family, write a paragraph describing your plan. Remember to include what you would do in case of a fire, who you would call in case of an emergency, and whether or not you know your parent’s cell phone numbers by heart. Have fun with this writing assignment and remember to include how important it is to stay calm!  Oh...Don’t forget to STOP, DROP, and ROLL!

Science Rules!

                                

Dear Friends,

       If you look up “science” in the dictionary, it says the following: “Science is a continuing effort to discover and increase human knowledge and understanding through research. Scientists collect observable evidence, record measurable data relating to the observations, and analyze this information to explain how things work. The methods of scientific research include a hypothesis (guess) of how things work and experimentation that test these hypotheses.” I hope this year, you become inspired to ask your own questions, come up with your own hypothesis of how things work, and create your own experimentations to prove or disprove your ideas. You all have intelligent and curios minds and through innovative thinking, you can change the world! Think BIG! Tell me, what does science mean to you? What questions do you have? Maybe you are curious about biology: the study of the body and how it works,or maybe seismology: the study of earthquakes or seismic waves, or maybe physics: the study of matter and energy...the list goes on and on! What interests you? Please respond in our new “friendly Letter” format! Room #22 ROCKS!  

                                                                Warmly,

                                                                Mrs. Yates
