 CD High School Families,
Don't forget that there is no school for students on May 3rd, Friday. We hope everyone has a nice long weekend! This quarter, the 5th hour English class taught by Mr. Bishop and Mrs. Granato-Wagner will be reading the non fictional accounts of Holocaust survivors. The class has had many emotionally driven discussions, as the stories are difficult to read due to the tragic nature of the Holocaust. Mrs. Kellermann (Social Worker) came into a 5th hour class period to talk with the students about the stories that we are reading and how they felt about the content. It was a great class discussion. Students were reminded that she is available if they need to talk more regarding the literature being read. The class has read 3 stories and will continue in the book until it is completed. After, the class will watch the movie, "Anne Frank" to conclude the unit.  The CD High School Parent Group welcomed and appreciated a presentation by Robert Farley on Tuesday evening (03/19).
Mr. Farley is an attorney in Naperville and works with parents of children with disabilities. Additionally, he wrote, "The Book: How to Navigate the Illinois Disability System", which was recently updated. For more information, please visit his website at http://www.farley1.com/. Thank you for your time and dedication, Mr. Farley! The student's said their goodbyes to Ms. Healy. It has been a great 10 weeks. Thanks for all that you've done for us! THE CD PARENT CONNECTION

Parent/Teacher Conference sign up has started, it is the same procedure as was used in the fall through the skyward system. We hope that our students enjoy their long weekend! Ms. Healy, Mrs. Kellermann, and Mrs. Granato-Wagner, along with Ms. Thorpe and Mrs. Burt have been working on the Multiple Intelligences with their third hour Future Focus/Interpersonal Applications class. This week they studied mathematical/logical intelligence. Ms. Healy led the week and as a culminating activity used everyone's favorite sweet treat, M&Ms! Students used their mathematical and logical brain to predict, count, and graph out their individual counts and then as a class. The class thoroughly enjoyed working and eating through this mini project. |
