Hispanic Culture Day, Special Persons’ Week, and Bowling On Tap This Week

May 2, 2008 by  

On Monday, May 5 (cinco de mayo) students will be taking place in two different activities where students will learn all about the Peruvian culture.  Last year, Señora Diane Hutton traveled to Peru as part of a personal and professional development activity.  She has brought back many things to share with us.  There will singing and dancing.  Miss Betsy Parker and Mrs. Joan Carr have teamed up with Señora Hutton to bring us Hispanic Culture Day.  Team Hendricks will join Mrs. Latino’s class in an activity from 9:00 to 10:00.  We will then have a school-wide assembly in the afternoon as a culmination to our day.  It should be exciting!

Special Persons’ Day is next is on Wednesday, May 7th from 9:30 to 10:30 AM.  Students have invited some family members or family friends to join our class for an hour’s worth of activities.  This should be an exciting time for us to share what we have been learning.

Thursday, May 8th will be the day that we take a district-wide writing prompt.  This will be the first assessment that will be used to show how your son or daughter has made progress over the school year.  We will have several more tests in the coming weeks.

Finally, Team Hendricks will meet with one class from Vinton and one class from Goodwin for a bowling afternoon.  Students have been practicing bowling and scoring and should have a lot of fun at this event.  All permission slips and socks have been returned.  Students will not be allowed to use money at the bowling alley, so they should not bring it with them.
