During the month of January, both Dual Language groups learned about President Obama's desire to have students attend school longer hours. Students wrote expository letters to the president explain how they felt about more time in school, some agreed and some disagreed with the president's idea, and explained why they felt the way they did.
A member of the School District Cabinet found out about the project and the next thing you know, the district news reported asked for an interview. She came to our class and heard some of the students discussing the topic. She interviewed some students and wanted copies of their letters.
Now, the news article is on the home page of the WSD, but I have included a link in the right-hand column so you can read the article and take a look at some of the letters.
We will be sharing letters to the President at our Dual Language Night on Tuesday, March 16th. I hope you can be there to hear your children reading their letters.
