A few weeks ago, our class filled our Marble Jar and earned a party. However, due to scheduling conflicts and the need to finish a number of in-class assessments, I'd ask the students to post-pone their reward. They gracious accepted my request, and we are having our Pot-Luck Party this Friday. I'd asked students to write persuasive pieces to convince me of their party ideas, and Milodi did a great job presenting his reasons and arguments in a logical manner.
On Friday, students can bring a snack or treat to share with their classmates. We do have a food allergy in our classroom (various seeds), and need to be cautious about ingredients. After speaking with the student, he said that he can avoid any food items containing the allegens, as long as he knows the ingredients. If the item is purchased, I've asked students to bring in the packaging with the ingredients listed. If the item is home-made, please include a list of ingredients used. Thanks for your co-operation in this matter!
