Kicking off Opinion Writing

We analyzed the speech Severn Cullis-Suzuki gave at the United Nations 25 years ago. The children observed how she used thinking questions, anecdotes, facts, and repetition to be persuasive. Nate brought in these magnets which state the goals of the United Nations. Some children are choosing topics related to the U.N.'s goals. Stay tuned for fantastic letters and speeches headed our way!

Some children were curious about where Severn is now- here's her website. 

School Lunch Hero Day

    The class wrote thank you notes for our school nutrition staff and watched this short TED Talk which explains "School Lunch Hero Day."
     My favorite quote from Jarrett's talk is
"I hope you remember how powerful and thank you can be. A thank you can change a life. It changes the life of the person who receives it and it changes the life of the person who expresses it."
 
      Thank you to the YES community for all of your kind deeds during Teacher Appreciation Week, and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of our amazing moms!

Potato Leek Soup

The class enjoyed making Potato Leek Soup with Mr. Currier, our school nutrition director. On Thursday, the children will participate in a taste test to see which homemade soups will be added to next month's menu.
