Business Items

One Book One School
Irving School is reading a book together!  Your family will receive a copy of the book on Thursday.  (The title is still a surprise!) . We will read the first two chapters with our Eagles Nest.  Optional trivia questions will go home.  If students return the questions they are eligible for a raffle.

This week we are doing Anti-Bullying Lessons every day.  Students are learning to identify what bullying is.  Bullying is generally defined as  intentional, repeated behavior targeting someone specific.   Students are learning how and when to report  bullying and how to act as a friend to someone who is being bullied. If your child comes home and mentions bullying- be sure to ask if it is repeated behavior that is intentional. 

Academic Fair is Wednesday April 24th.  This event is a science (or social studies or math...) event for anyone interested.  Simply have your child ask a question and then help your child discover how to answer it.  It is meant to foster curiosity and problem solving.  It is 100% optional.  Most students do posters or make a model of some kind.  We will walk through the fair as a class during the day and then students who participated will come back at night and stand by their project to discuss it with other families as they walk around.  Click here for more information.
