​Dear Maple Families,
 

1. Book order is due 2/2! Return paper order, or order online.
2. We started a new chapter book read aloud in class, The Tale of Despereaux. It is also a book written by Katie DiCamillo. Ask your student what it is about!
3. We did an awesome weaving project for art this week. We wrote poems about ourselves, and then weaved tapestries with colors that represented parts of us; check out their work in the library next week.  
4. Home connections are going home for both grades this week, math and science.
5. The HUSD wellness committee will be hosting a FREE screening of the movie "Screenagers- Growing up in the Digital Age" on Friday, Feburary 23rd at 6:00pm. Parents and community members are invited to attend this special event and attendees are welcome and encouraged to stay for a moderated discussion after the film ends. Information about RSVP-ing for this event online will be sent out in the school E-News. 
6. The students have been working hard to go up levels both in TypingClub and Lexia, and these are programs you can do online at home if your student wishes too! If you do not know how to access these programs at home, please let me know.
