Melody in Palatine, Illinois

Ms. Masellis' 4th Grade Class
Jane Addams Elementary School
United States
Palatine, Illinois
(Melody #010A1113)
Melody is experiencing so much during her time at Jane Addams. She is helping us to prepare for our Open House on Thursday. "Heart maps" are one specific activity that children are completing. These maps illustrate our passions both in and out of the classrooms. Melody also is assisting in the installation of our school mural. Professional artists from Chicago arrived yesterday to begin mosaic work with our students. We will unite together to embrace the diversity in our school and community. Although weather conditions were stormy, she got a glimpse of what children will be working on.
During her visit, we revisited the "lessons" that we learned when reading this book in the fall. In our classroom chats each morning, we reflected on possible Claire and Molly behavior that could be occurring in these final school months and worked together to ensure we stay kind. Student's will blog about their week with Melody as well.
