December CLDE News

It has been wonderful watching your children grow so far this school year! Thank you to everyone who joined us for comference. It was lovely to spend time celebrating your students.

We hope you have an amazing Winter Break and enjoy your family and friends.

Click on any of the pictures below to enjoy a seasonal read aloud together. Here are a few discussion questions to explore as you listen to the book.

1. What do you think will happen next in the story?
2. How do you think the main character is feeling right now? Why?
3. Can you relate to anything that has happened so far in the story?
4. What do you think is the most important part of the story so far?
5. How would you feel if you were in the main character’s shoes?
6. What is the problem in the story? How do you think it might be solved?
7. What do you think the author wants us to learn from this story?
8. Are there any parts of the story that confuse you or make you curious?
9. How would you describe the setting of the story?
10. What do you think the characters might do next, and why?

These questions encourage students to think critically about the story, make personal connections, and predict future events.

We know that there may be families experiencing food insecurity right now and we are setting up a mini pantry to try and help. Although we do not have a lot of resources to start, we are accepting donations ourselves and setting up a small pantry specifically for our Met families in need. If your family is in need, please complete the form below. The mini pantry will be open Tuesday-Friday 2:00-3:00 by appointment only.

We are a true school family and community. At Metropolitan Art's Academy we provide a rigorous arts integration program to enhance student creativity while catering to diverse learning styles. The Met views success by integrating competency based-learning with student agency to build learning targets at a customized pace using an artistic lens.
