Week of November 17-21, 2008

News From Mrs. Richards:

Conference times have come and gone. Thank you for your participation! We appreciate your input.

Our class is culminating the Native American Unit with some fun application of what we have learned. Every student is a member of a clan. They have created their own Lenape name to represent their personality. Decorating headresses, creating totems and writing realistic fictional stories will bring us to a close.

Our next unit will focus on the historical immigration to Pennsylvania.

We loved the field trip to the Claussville School House. Pics to come soon.

Thank you again for your continued support of our third grade program.

Sincerely,

Karen Richards
