Cosmic Cultures

 
December 3rd will be our first Exchange Day! Homerooms 5&7 will be going to 
the Savin Rock Conference Center to participate in hands-on activities on 
the Native American culture. Homerooms 4 & 8 will remain at East SHore to do 
activities about ancient Egypt. HR 6 will split between the 2 sites. 
Students need to be sure to have all of their work turned in. The team is 
keeping track of missed assignments as of November 1st.

Cosmic Cultures is an interdisciplinary grant that our team has the good 
fortune to participate in along with West Haven (Bailey & Carrigan), St. 
Brendan's in New Haven, and Bethany. West Shore Middle School will be 
joining our group this year and pairing up with Bethany.

We will begin planning some activities and Exchange Days with Baiey Middle 
School soon. We will look forward to another great year participating in 
this exciting program. Keep an eye out for information once the school year 
gets started.

Our first field trip will be to see "The Mysteries of Egypt" at the IMAX 
theater at the Maritime Center in Norwalk on Thursday, October 30th. Please 
sign and return permission slips by this Friday, October 24th. We will be 
having lunch at McDonald's after the movie. If your child would like to 
order McDonald's, please send in money with them. The movie and 
transportation are both paid for by our state funded grant. If your child 
would like to bring lunch from home, they are more than welcome to do 
so.

   Now that our first trip is finished, students must review their 
contracts. They have a cushion of 5 missed/late assignments before being 
placed on probation for Cosmic. Parents, please help us to promote 
responsibility for homework at home!
