Multicultural Day Tomorrow!
Note: Today, we launched a new class job: Cub Reporter. The Cub Reporter will be responsible for writing a bit about class activities for our class website. As always, student privacy is critically important online, so I credit students by their class number, not by name or initials.

Tomorrow, our class will be participating in a program called Multicultural Day. That is when we will head to the gym and do many different activities that other cultures do. If you have any clothes that represent your country, you can wear it tomorrow to the Multicultural Fair if you like. We will also do a project where we make a paper suitcase at home and color and print out clipart or a photo of what you own inside of your suitcase. The picture will have to represent the place where you or your ancestors came from. You can put in such as a type of clothing, toys, pictures, food, etc. Your parents will help you with researching your ancestors or learning some new things about yourself. They can also help you print and “pack” your things into the suitcase. Our “suitcases” will be displayed open and showing the objects that you put inside. Everyone will have to put a passport or tag with their name on the handle of the suitcase. I hope that we all have fun making the project and at the Multicultural Fair!

Cub Reporter Message: What’s Happening in Unified Arts?
Written by Student #20
Hi! Here in Mr. Moss’s class we have many jobs such as line leader and station manager. We have started performing one called cub reporter. I am writing this because I am the first one doing it. Cub reporter is a jobs where we update Mr. Moss’s website as things happen in class. Enough with the introductions. In unified arts we have done many different things. In music we have been working on compositions that we will present with our choice of method: instrument, or vocally. As a grade, we have been working on songs for our winter concert. Miss Torres has taught us a collection of excellent songs. In Spanish, we have been working on food, or comida. The word for chicken is pollo! (pronounced poh-yo) We have also been earning letters in Spanish. They are ways of reward. If we make a word with our letters we get a celebration. In art we worked on “op”, or optical art. We used calligraphy pens to make thick and thin lines. Optical art is when the artist tricks the viewer’s eyes into seeing something. In library, aside from checking out books, we have worked on evaluating websites. We would go onto assigned websites and watch out for things that would make the website more or less credible. You can ask your child for an expanded explanation.
