10 inches wide and 60 inches long…Sizing up our lockers!

Good Evening!

Please  help your student choose and then cut paper to decorate their locker. The paper can be solid, striped or seasonal. We are trying to make our hallway festive and fun! We would like all the lockers decorated by next Wednesday.

Many thanks for all you do!

DECK THE HALLS….OUR HAIGH HALLS!

GREETINGS,

Tomorrow is Friday, DECEMBER  FIRST!! The 2017 year is coming to an end. However, before we say Farewell  some of us will say Fa La La…

In order to get in the winter spirit we will be decorating our lockers.  Tomorrow I will be sending home  the student locker dimensions. Please help your student cut the paper. Each student will bring in their own paper, already cut, and then tape it onto their own locker. If students want they can also add some ribbon or a bow.

Here are two photos from last year. Last year the room parents did all the work and chose the paper…which was super nice and very fabulous. This year we are asking each student to “deck the halls”!

Many thanks for your support and cooperation,

A. Cronin

Be Thankful for What You Have. Be Fearless for What You Want!

Tuesday Greetings to ALL,

I hope everyone is able to rest a little at home, enjoy the company of friends and family, and eat all the mashed potatoes your heart desires….(they are my favorite!).

I am thankful for so many things and for so many people in my life. But I do want more…peace, love and understanding…what’s so funny about that, right?

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

sincerely,

a. cronin

Canton, China finds it’s way to Room 4!

Happy Sunday!

Pauly and his mom presented to his class on Friday. Pauly’s mom brought many family heirlooms to share with the kids. Each student had a chance to rub the Buddha’s tummy for a little good luck.

Many thanks for all the support and  the wonderful stories!

Growing Up can feel a lot like being lost at sea, but the IMAGINATION is a good MAP to steer by.

good morning to all!

Students were challenged to present information about Thanksgiving. The kids were randomly paired up and given some examples of ways to present: slide show, rap song, a play. So far we have seen those three presentations. Two students chose to make a film. They brought in some equipment, set up a working space in the hallway, and went about creating their “masterpiece”. We will see the finished project next week…just in time for the holiday. Here are some photographs. Enjoy!

Merci! Gracias! Danke sehr! Shukran! Dziekuje! Tack! Thank You!

Greetings Parents and Students!

We are coming to the end of our family immigration project. It has been an incredibly wonderful experience for me and for our students. Thank you so much for sharing part of your story with me and my class. Thank you for your generosity-with your time, support, and the variety of tasty treats that you and your students brought to class.

Next week brings us the Thanksgiving holiday. I sincerely hope that all of you are  able to spend some time with friends and family. The last three weeks I have heard so many family stories of courage, determination, and love.

Peace and Love to ALL of YOU.

SINCERELY,

a. cronin

An Incredible Journey

Greetings Parents,

Our class has been listening to incredible stories of families immigrating from different countries to the United States. Today Hadi’s dad told us his amazing story which began when he was eleven years old. Our class was really impressed with Hadi’s dad determination to have a better life. The journey started in Iraq, then went to Saudi Arabia, next to New York and finally Dearborn, Michigan.

Thank you for sharing your stories with us!
