Welcome to Theresa, Rob and Jahaira's 2018-19 4th/5th Grade Class!
July 2018
Dear students and families,
We hope you are having a fun and restful summer! As we write this letter, it is early July, and we are very much enjoying our vacation time and the beautiful weather. We hope that you all have had an opportunity to enjoy being outdoors and having adventures of your own! We can’t wait to hear all your summer tales when we return to school!
Theresa and her family recently spent a week in Rhode Island enjoying the beach. She also has been busy running in Central Park and watching the World Cup. Her older daughter will be a third grader here at the Earth School and her younger daughter will be in kindergarten. Rob has been traveling, while also spending time with his friends and family in the city and on Long Island. He’s also spending as much time as possible at the beach!
Our theme for next year will be “Justice For All?” Some questions we will be thinking about throughout the year are: What is freedom? Where do rights come from? Can one person make a difference? One important word we will be using this year is “perspective.” We will be thinking about the perspectives of different groups of people as we learn about these important ideas.
But, we’re not ready for summer to be over yet, so let’s keep enjoying the sunshine and adventures. See you in September!
Sincerely,
Rob & Theresa
