Spanish & Somali translation below.

Seward's Annual Read Around takes place from February 7 - March 4, and this year's theme is Adventures in Reading! As part of the Read Around, we typically invite authors to come to Seward and share with students what it is like to be an author and how to write books. The visiting authors will be virtual due to COVID-19 restrictions.

We will have an exciting opportunity for our E2 students. They will meet with Minnesota author Shannon Gibney for a mini-residency. The students will meet with Shannon and then be given a writing assignment. In a few days, they will meet with Shannon a second time to discuss the writing process. It will be an opportunity for the students to experience writing as an author does, ask questions, and get support to hone their skills. Shannon is an award winning author who write for "adults, children and everyone in between." Shannon will be visiting the E2 classrooms the week of February 7th. https://www.shannongibney.com/

All of the Read Around Visiting Authors opportunities are made possible because of the generous support from our PTA. We encourage you to support your child during the Read Around both by encouraging him/her to read and also by pledging to donate money for minutes read. Your financial support makes experiences like these possible.

La lectura anual de Seward se lleva a cabo del 7 de febrero al 4 de marzo, y el tema de este año es ¡Aventuras en la lectura! Como parte de Read Around, normalmente invitamos a los autores a venir a Seward y compartir con los estudiantes cómo es ser un autor y cómo escribir libros. Los autores visitantes serán virtuales esta vez debido a las restricciones de COVID-19. 

Tendremos una oportunidad emocionante para nuestros estudiantes de E2. Se reunirán con la autora de Minnesota Shannon Gibney para una mini-residencia. Los estudiantes se reunirán con Shannon y luego se les asignará una tarea de escritura. Unos días después, se reunirán con Shannon por segunda vez para hablar sobre el proceso de escritura. Será una oportunidad para que los estudiantes experimenten la escritura como lo hace un autor, hagan preguntas y obtengan apoyo para perfeccionar sus habilidades. Shannon es una autora galardonada que escribe para "adultos, niños y todos los demás". Shannon visitará las aulas de E2 la semana del 7 de febrero. https://www.shannongibney.com/

Todas las visitas de los Autores de Read Around son posibles gracias al generoso apoyo de nuestra Asociación de Padres y Maestros. Lo alentamos a que apoye a su hijo durante Read Around, animándolo a leer y también si le es posible donar dinero por los minutos de lectura. Su apoyo financiero hace posibles experiencias como estas.

News from Science: Karen Utter E1 Students Learning about Air E1 is learning about Air and Weather. So far we have learned that air is a gas and is all around us. We’ve been introduced to the terms: air resistance, compressed air and air pressure. We’ve learned that air takes up space and that it is stronger than all of us when it’s in a space it can’t escape from.    E2 has started learning about Motion and Force.  We learned that a force is a push or pull and that the scientific word for creating motion is “applying a force.” We discussed speed, direction and gravity. We are doing “controlled experiments” using a pendulum with a penny as the weight or bob on the end.      -------------------------------------------------------------------------   News from Health: Jody Volk Jody Volk Kindergarten classes do small movement activities with me in the classroom.

  Dear PTA, Spring is in the air.  And so is retirement. After 28 years, it's time to say goodbye. *I remember Melissa Ericksen before she was married. (Her children are now in college.) *I remember Anna Lethert as a Seward kindergartner. (Anna now teaches E-1) *I held Noah Mammen as a new born baby. (Noah is part of the Student Support team.) I've loved this job.   When I think of the PTA through the years, my heart fills with awe.  You've all made Seward the school that it is.  Strong in community.  A gift.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you. It has been an honor. Mary D.
