Chapter 16 Reconstruction and the New South
The cinematography is wonderful, the sets lavish, the costumes incredible, the musical score sweeping, and the film epic in every way. Based on Margaret Mitchell's best selling novel, this classic 1939 film follows Scarlett O'Hara (played by Vivien Leigh), the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner, who's quality of life is swept away by the winds of the American Civil War. Her love life is equally as turbulent, thanks to Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), and Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). Rated G

Dear Parent,


Thank you for the delicious dish you helped your child make (purchased) for the Diversity Heritage Day celebration. It was a huge success! Thank you so much for your contribution. This week is ISAT testing week and there will be no homework or study hall. We are off to the Oak Park Lake theatre, Friday March 5, 2010 to view the movie Alice in Wonderland. What a great way to end the ISAT testing week! Please make sure you send the permission slip and the $8.00 cost in a sealed envelope with your child's name on it by March 3, 2010. Below is a message from the school nurse regarding the walking field trip Friday March 5, 2010.
Ms. Franklin


Asthmatics need to be extra careful walking in the cold.
Also, especially if the temperature is below freezing with or without wind chill factor.....I have noticed at dismissal at the bus area that in general many of the students are not wearing appropriate outer wear, some walking, some on the bus. This is just my suggestion, that they are given a reminder the day before to bring coat/gloves or consequence is remaining behind at school. If they do not have proper cover the day of the FT I would have a parent give verbal permission over phone that they are aware of the outside temperature and that their child does not have coat/gloves etc & can walk the distance without appropriate clothing under your supervision for weather conditions.

 Diversity Heritage Day - Celebrating Diversity with Food Art, Music, Poetry and Dance


Dear Parents/Guardians,

On February 26, 2010, the Social Studies class will have a special event to celebrate diversity in the classroom. We will celebrate diversity with art, food, music, poetry and dance. This will be a chance for students to share and celebrate their background and heritage with classmates. I would like to invite parents and /or other family members to join us to share a cultural connection with the class. This may be information about your cultural background such as the country, its music, dance, dress, food, art and recreation your family comes from. If you like, you may even plan a brief activity for the class to take part in. You will have only about five minutes to present. The morning classes are only about 40 minutes long and the afternoon classes are longer.

After we share our unique cultural experiences, we will hold our Diversity Heritage Food Festival in the classroom. I am asking each student to bring in a ready-to-serve dish related to his or her family-background. Keep it simple and easy to serve. We are unable to heat any foods, so foods served cold or at room temperature are best. Please label each dish with your name, include any necessary serving utensils, plates, napkins and the receipt to share with others. Please do not send a dish made from or cooked with peanuts or peanut oil. Please encourage your child to check the recipes for ingredients before sampling any of the dishes. I will also encourage them to do so during class. Students and guest will be able to sample appetizers, breads, cookies, desserts, and other foods of different cultures. I hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Ms. Franklin
