Dear Family and Friends:
Welcome to a new and exciting school year here at Loleta!
We have appreciated your involvement in our students' learning, and this year we will be asking you to contribute to our community in new ways.
We are going to create an ABC of Loleta, and we will share what we learn in book and digital form. The students will be visiting people and places in our community, and learning about Loleta's past and present. This may help us all shape Loleta's future!
If you have suggestions about where and who to visit, and if you would be willing to help us, we would love your participation! Please look for a survey in the mail soon, and please call or email us with your ideas at any time.
Through this project, students will learn more about our community, share that with the community, develop 21st century literacies and skills (reading, writing, technology, communication, connection, creativity), meet state standards (in language arts, math, science, social studies, art), and have a great time learning.
Thanks so much for your support of our students, and our community. We're looking forward to a great project, and a great year.
Sincerely,
Harriet Watson

Harriet, I admire your creativity. I think the ABC book about the community is a great idea. I also like the idea of focusing on community. I think more than knowing about the community it is important for our students to see themselves as an integral part of the community. I am hoping that I can learn more about how to foster community in the classroom. For anyone to feel isolated is a horrible thing.
