Bette’s Class Notes
October 19, 2017
Dear Families,
Tomorrow
is our field trip to the UMS youth performance of Ragamala Dance Company. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/ums/15ee3920ebcb2106?projector=1
The
performance is called “Written in Water” and is a contemporary reflection of a South
Indian classical dance form called Bharatanatyam.
The class
has had a workshop on the dance and we will also have a post performance
workshop.
“When you write in water, it’s not
concrete, so it is constantly changing” -Ranee Ramaswamy (Like life…)
Our bus will leave early, 10am, because Paul Hunter, a
parent in Denise’s class, has offered the opportunity to visit the scene shop
at the Power Center!
Last
Friday’s field trip to waterloo was wonderful. We were able to go in the woods
and back to the bog in small groups. Everyone came back tired. Thanks to the
parents who were able to come as chaperones.
I’ve
enjoyed meeting with you and your child on conference night, and look forward
to meeting with the rest of you next week.
In math,
3rd grade is continuing to work on addition and subtraction
strategies up to 10, 000. 4th grade is working on estimation using
factors and multiples.
