Whew! I can't believe I was sick for 6 days! Luckily, as some of my students worried, I did not have Ebola, just a nasty cold. Be sure you keep yourself healthy: get lots of sleep, some extra vitamin C, and drink plenty of water.
I was so sad to miss out on most of the week with my students. We have so much fun together, it was a drag to be at home by myself. I also know that it can be stressful for students to have a substitute for so many days. I appreciate those students who worked hard to welcome our subs into this community and show them the ropes. It shows a lot of maturity to make this a safe space for any new person. In Enrichment we have been diving into several new things including our first real days of writers workshop and reading The Giver. I am so excited to see where both of these projects will take us. In Humanities we have been working with the short story Rikki Tikki Tavi. While the project has taken a little longer than planned because of my absence, I have been impressed by students understanding of this story. They are creating comics that represent a portion of the story. I can't wait to see what they create! Thank you so much to all the families who are supporting the great work your kids have been doing. Continue to reach out to me as needed. I will do my best to respond as quickly as I can. Its been great to communicate with some of you already! Have a wonderful weekend, soak up some of that sunshine. I'm off to have dinner with my family! Ms. Soloway
