Seattle Schools Community Forum: Odds and Ends

Seattle Schools Community Forum: Odds and Ends:


Odds and Ends

Is this homework a kindergartener should be able to do?  I heard that at one Seattle elementary (it slips my mind which one but I think it is Roxhill) that they have ended homework and require only reading every night.    Should kindergartners have homework?

An upcoming event that may be of interest to you and your student - the unveiling of Mirror, a permanent art installation at SAM.  From their website:

MIRROR is an urban earthwork that changes in real time in response to the movements and life around it.

At the unveiling, guests will experience an unprecedented performance with synchronized choreography of MIRROR in relation to compositions by minimalist composers Steve Reich and Terry Riley. Mr. Riley will be in Seattle for the performance of his monumental work In C, featuring musicians from the Seattle Symphony
