“Today at Choice, we did choice outside. I played in the playground. I played tag with Xochitl and it was fun. It was super hot and sunny, and that made me thirsty. Then, Michelle said to come inside,” reported Alison.

“Today at Choice, I didn't Magetiles with Zuki and Somanna. I played Magetiles for a little bit but I had to do my family tree. I messed up on my family tree. I started over and made it again. When I was done, I had to clean up,” reported Bailey.

“Today at Choice, I played Magnetiles with Zuki. Then, it was time to clean up,” reported Felicia.

There has been a whole lotta reporting going on!

This upcoming week will be a doozy! Not only is there a holiday on Wednesday, November 14, but the week will end with a full morning Ellis Island arrival simulation/ Kaitlin Gaffney will be our official documentarian on Friday, but we invite everyone who wants to participate in the preparation from 9:00-10:00 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, or Friday 8:00-12:00, to please join in the fun.

Esta próxima semana será un doozy! No sólo hay un día de fiesta el miércoles 14 de noviembre, pero la semana terminará con una mañana llena de Ellis Island simulación de llegada / Kaitlin Gaffney será nuestra documentalista oficial el viernes, pero invitamos a todos los que quieran participar en la preparación de 9: 00-10: 00 el lunes, martes y jueves o el viernes 8: 00-12: 00, para complacer a unirse a la diversión.

El viernes pasado, su hijo trajo a casa una carta con información sobre el papel que ella o él jugará el 13 de noviembre Animamos a las familias para preparar un disfraz para el viernes con el fin de apoyar la inmersión de los estudiantes en la experiencia.
Aquí están algunas fotos de 2011 por lo que puede obtener algunas ideas sobre lo que los trajes pueden ser:

Last Friday, your student brought home a letter with information about the role she or he will play on November 13. We encourage families to prepare a costume for Friday in order to support students’ full-immersion into the experience.

Here are some photos from 2011 so you may get some ideas about what costumes might look like:

Si re-promulgación de las experiencias de los 12 millones de inmigrantes de Europa, Oriente Medio, América Central y América del Sur no fue suficiente, las Sea y Ocean clases terminarán hasta dos semanas de recolección de datos para añadir a la base de datos global de litterati. Además de fotografiar y GPS etiquetado basura en nuestro campus, los estudiantes también están registrando tipos y frecuencia de la basura en el papel. Después de estas dos semanas, vamos a analizar nuestros datos, identificar los tipos de basura incipientes, y trabajar hacia un plan de sensibilización y el cambio de reducir el tipo o la cantidad de basura en nuestra escuela.

A continuación, los estudiantes pueden optar por unirse a los miles de personas y cientos de organizaciones que se han comprometido niegan a utilizar pajitas de plástico. Presentaciones a otras clases de Monarch y BSSC pueden estar en nuestro futuro, también!

If re-enacting the experiences of 12 million immigrants from Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South America wasn’t enough, the Sea and Ocean classes will finish up two weeks of collecting data to add to Litterati’s global database. In addition to photographing and GPS tagging trash on our campus, students are also recording types and frequency of trash on paper. After these two weeks, we’ll analyze our data, identify incipient trash types, and work towards an awareness and change plan to reduce the type or amount of trash in our schoolyard.

Next, the students may choose to join the thousands of individuals and hundreds of organizations that have committed refusing to use plastic straws. Presentations to other classes at Monarch and BSSC may be in our future, as well!
