If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at suzanne.lorenzi@olmlancers.com ____________________________________ Attention 6th grade parents: ___________________________________________________ Monday's Eclipse: Many parents have asked about the school's plans for the eclipse. Due to the risks to eyesight, we will NOT be going outside to view the eclipse. Students will be kept inside from 9am-11:30am. Parents who feel that they would like for their child to view the eclipse outside, can keep their child home, view it with them, and then bring them to school after 11:30. While we understand that this can be a teachable moment, we feel strongly that this is the best way to keep all of our students safe. Mrs. Blackburn has decided that this responsibility is best left to the parents. During science time, 8:50-9:40, Mrs. Wennberg will come to our room and teach a lesson about the solar eclipse. We will also watch the eclipse on live streaming from NASA. So, the students will have the "teachable moment" without the safety risks to their vision. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much to the family who graciously donated a pencil sharpener for our class. _______________________________________ TFK money--Thank you so much to those who have already sent in their $5 for the Time for Kids subscription.

If you have not done so, please send this in as soon as possible. Also, we will need drivers for these events. _______________________________________ We will be doing a read-aloud of the book Wonder. It is an awesome book about a child who has a craniofacial difference. The novel has important themes, such as "Choose Kind." We are focusing on this main theme in our classroom. Ask your student about our "kindness jar" and encourage them to find a way to get to add a marble to the jar. The movie Wonder will come out in November. In addition, we will be writing letters and cards to a boy from California who has a craniofacial difference. I contacted the Children's Craniofacial Association and asked if our class could be matched with a "Wonderkid" with whom we could correspond. They graciously matched us with Jake, a 10 year old 4th grader who loves baseball (specifically the Dodgers) and animals. We look forward to corresponding with Jake and learning just how similar we all are...despite our outward differences. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6th grade Religion Monday- faith journal-How can you "choose kind"?
