The students of Mrs. Rivera’s third grade class was featured in the Brown’s Bulletin, which is a social studies based newsletter. Students participated in a “Journey through the Silk Road” presentation. The students studied economics of ancient China with an emphasis on opportunity costs. At six different stations, students used their passport to stop and experience different contributions of China.
💬“All of the contributions were authentic and touchable,” said Hunter.
💬“My favorite was the spices and tea station because you could touch and smell the ginger and cardamon,” added Eden.
💬Ashlin stated “using the chopsticks to pick up rice was difficult but fun.”
Stations included ivory, jade, porcelain, cotton, gold, silver, salt, sugar, teas and spices. A family shared silk clothing, jewelry and Chinese traditional foods. Students were entertained by Chinese traditional dancing and flute music. Students practiced “Portrait of a Graduate” skills.
As you plan upcoming trips and other family events, please remember the importance of sending your child to school every day. Review the FCPS School Year Calendar and try to plan any time away during breaks from school.
Children who show up for school regularly develop fundamental reading and math skills while building a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers. Research shows that children who were chronically absent (missing 18 days or more) in kindergarten and first grade were far less likely to read proficiently at the end of third grade.
Learn how families can help form good attendance habits.
Please make sure to review the Attendance Report Card that came home with the last Progress Reports to review your child's attendance so far this year.
 Visit to the National Museum of the American Indian.
