Harmony Around the World Cook Books on Sale until March 23^rd:

Harmony Science Academy of Fort Worth is hosting our annual multicultural night, entitled "Harmony Around the World." In celebration of our varying heritages, we will be featuring a cookbook comprised of recipes from the various countries represented in our student population.

Cookbooks will be on sale from February 27^th – March 23^st for $10. They will be available for pick-up during Harmony Around the World. The cookbooks will feature a color cover and each class section will have a recipe included inside.

See attached form for more information.

Harmony Around the World Silent Auction Basket:

Each year at Harmony Around the World we have a silent auction for themed baskets.  This year the class has chosen to do a LEGO themed basket. I will be sending out a sign up for donations for the basket.  I am not looking for anything specific as long as it is LEGO themed. I thought it would be cool to make a basket out of used donated duplo blocks and hot glue them together.  If anyone would be interested in that project let me know. If not we will use a wicker basket.

What are we learning?:

ELA: describe and analyze characters

Science: Plants

Social Studies: Needs and Wants; Economic Choices

Math: Fractions

Sight Words: myself, family, city, buy, party, please, school, seven

Spelling Words: how, out, gown, power, shout, town, now, cow, owl, ouch, house, found

Thanks for all your support from home!
