First Grade Field Trip

First graders will be going on a field trip Monday to

see the African Children’s Choir. “For twenty-

three years this choir has been changing the

lives of Africa's most vulnerable children.

Story after story tells of children coming to

this choir as orphans or from dire living

conditions and emerging as performing artists,

physicians, business leaders - all with a

commitment to improve the lives of other

children.” al.com

STONE SOUP

A collaborative project based learning

experience for Mrs. Stubblefield’s, Mrs. Ford’s

& Mrs. Watson’s classes on Wednesday,

November 17, 2010

Our classes will be making STONE SOUP next

Wednesday and each child needs to bring 1

fresh vegetable to school that morning

already chopped and ready to put in the pot.

(potatoes, carrot, celery, onion, beans,

peas,etc.) We are using the Thanksgiving

theme of sharing your food with others with

the emphasis on the book STONE SOUP -all it

takes is 1 item per person to make a meal for

everyone. We are inviting our custodians to

share the soup with us that afternoon.

Thank you,

Mrs. Stubblefield, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Watson
