Guest Post from Dr. AntonGood Afternoon Bowman Families,
I hope that you are enjoying the unexpected snow storm. I was not really expecting snow when yesterday was in the high 40's! I wanted to share with you that I will be out of the building next week. In my absence, Beth Glick will be your go-to person should you need any help. We anticipate business as usual. You may have heard that I will be on my first trip to India. Since I first taught about India as a second grade teacher over 20 years ago, India has been a top location on my bucket list. Some of your students may have told you that they will be "traveling with me". Our second grades are currently in a Social Studies Unit on India, and I will be blogging with them as together we learn more about the places that I am visiting. They have armed me with a long list of questions, and I hope that we will be able to answer some of them as we travel. In Art next week students at each grade level will be exploring different aspects of India art, and the fourth grades will be looking to connect this travel with mathematics. The blog allows for students to write back, and classrooms will be doing this next week. As I will be traveling for two weeks, I invite you to follow along at home, continuing your child's experience. You can find our India blog at www.bowman2016.blogspot.com. Attached to this email are two newsletters, the PTA Broadside for February and a newsletter from Karen Tripoli, our K-5 Mathematics Curriculum Coordinator. We hope that you will find them interesting. One thing I want to bring to your attention is that the Spaghetti Dinner, planned for after February vacation is almost sold out. Only the third seating remains with any spaces. We will not be able to add spots for this event as there are fire code capacity limits. We appreciate your understanding. I wish you all a wonderful week and hope you can join us on Bowman's virtual trip to India. Mary
