Japan

From Mrs. MacGregor:

The past two weeks, third graders have been heavily involved in their Japan research projects. This week, students began writing the rough drafts of their research papers. This has involved learning how to write organized paragraphs. They are doing a wonderful job!

We are looking forward to our Asian Banquet on Wednesday, March 9th @ 11AM. Today I am sending home an invitation to this event. Please RSVP as soon as possible with the number of people attending so that we can plan for the amount of food that we will need. Thank you in advance for this!

DRESS for the Asian Banquet: We have kimonos in our school dress up supply that children are welcome to wear for the banquet. If your child has some clothes that are asian-inspired, they are welcome to wear them. Please DO NOT feel obligated to purchase any clothing for this event!

Kokeshi Dolls: Next week we will be making Kokeshi Dolls in class. For this project each child will need an empty paper towel roll. Please send them in ASAP. And if you happen to have an extra, we could certainly use it! Thank you.

Have a great weekend!

This is from Sascha:

Dear parents,

I am working on Japan in Social Studies. I am studying the Japanese Bobtail Cat and the Japanese Macaque. It is fun doing the work for it. My favorite part is nothing! I like every bit of it! Did you know that a Japanese Bobtail can eat a deer? Or did you know that a Macaque can throw a snowball at people? To learn more come to the Asian Banquet.

Love, Sascha
