Monday Memo 4/30/18

I hope you had a great weekend!

Yard Sale

Thank you for all of your help and support with our yard sale.  We had a great time, and we are excited to determine the charity to which we will donate the proceeds.  This week in math, we will count the money and roll the coins.

Mystery Reader

Thank you to Edan's dad for being our Mystery Reader on Friday.

Penpals

Thank you for helping your child complete the penpal assignment.  All the travel journals and photos of our penpals' Flat Stanleys' in various locales were priceless.  My aunt was in town yesterday for her vacation, and I gave her the package to bring back to her classroom.  We will Skype with our classes next week!

Author Grace Lin to Visit!

Thanks to a grant from the Wayland Public School Foundation, ​this Friday ​morning ​

we will welcome a​uthor Grace Lin who will address the Happy Hollow Community about the importance of reading books that are mirrors of your own experience and windows into the lives of others. Grace Lin is the author and illustrator of more than a dozen children's books including Year of the Dog, which our class is currently reading.

Grace developed a Community Bookstop at Sunnyside School to bring the topic of race into the home and beyond.  She is the inspiration for developing our very own Community Bookstop.​  The Happy Hollow Community Bookstop will be located in the main lobby.  It is a collection of books for students and parents to read together that features characters from different cultural and racial backgrounds. We believe that the more discussions that our whole community is having about race and cultural backgrounds, the better educated students will be about the world.  Grace will perform a ribbon cutting to open the Bookstop.   We expect books to be ready for circulation in about two weeks time.

Open House

Please mark your calendar for Thursday, May 31 from 8:30-9 for our Open House!  We will have a short performance for you, and time for you to see your child's fantastic work. 

Have a great week!
