Hello All,
Last year we let you know about an opportunity to raise money for the school through shopping online. If you go to www.igive.com and register under The Atlanta School, any shopping you do at member web sites through Igive the store donates a portion of the sale to the school. we have a TIME SENSITIVE, super easy way to raise up to $5000 for the school. In the next 24 hours please sign up for (or log into) www.igive.com and then just click on one of the member stores, and Igive send the school $1. That’s it. See details below and please send this to everyone you know. THANK YOU!!
We’ll give The Atlanta School a dollar for each person who joins iGive using the special link below and visits one store via iGive between noon Wednesday, March 24, 2010 (Chicago time) and noon Thursday, the next day.
Here’s where you come in.  Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, do a Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think The Atlanta School is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it’s free!  You can even just forward this e-mail.  The only way The Atlanta School will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more) is if you invite them.
This is the link:

Make sure you tell your friends to perform a store visit, so that they earn the dollar.
5,000 new members, $5,000.  No purchase necessary. That’s 5,000 new members for all causes, not just yours, and it’s only for 24 hours, so it’s a bit of race.
It can turn into more than a dollar, much more … if these new members search or buy something at an iGive store they’ll earn much-needed money for The Atlanta School.  Right now, we’re donating a special bonus of $5 for that first purchase plus the usual percentage.  Active iGive members raise an average of over $40 per year for their cause.
The details:
- Offer active between 12:00 p.m. (noon) March 24, 2010 and 11:59 a.m., March 25, 2010 (Chicago time).
- New members only (never have been an iGive member previously).
- All the normal rules of membership, searching, and purchasing apply, our site has the details.
- Once we’ve given away $5,000 in total, the offer ends.
- The special link and visiting a store via iGive are necessary.  No link, no store visit, no $1.
That’s it.  We’ve added tons of new stuff in the last months that we want to really test out, so spreading the word helps both The Atlanta School and iGive. Check it out yourself at http://www.iGive.com .  You may need to login first.

K/1 News March 22-26

Over the past week the K/1 children have become fascinated with digging for worms on our playground. Because of their keen interest, we are beginning a unit on WORMS!!! Children will engage in the scientific process of observing, predicting, testing, and analyzing as they explore these creepy, crawly creatures! We will continue to integrate all learning domains so look for wormy math activities such as measurement, weight, addition and subtraction; stories and poems; wiggly movement and music; and much, much more!
The children have already generated a list of questions that they have about worms…some of these are:
1. Where do worms live?
2. How do they dig?
3. What do worms eat?
4. Are worms girls or boys?
5. How long have worms been on the earth?
6. How big can worms get?
As with all of our studies, we will begin by orienting children to the new topic through fun, hands-on activities that stimulate interest and build excitement! Here are are some of the exciting things we’ll be doing this week:
Monday – Where do worms live? Exploring habitats for earthworms.
Art with Paulette
Writer’s Workshop
Movement
Tuesday – Digging for and collecting worms for our classroom “wormery”
Spanish
Math Workshop (Non-standard measurement with yarn “worms”)
Wednesday – Field Trip to Sensations ($10) We need two parent volunteers to join us and drive. If you are interested in joining us please “reply all” to this email.
Thursday – What do worms eat?
Spanish
Math Workshop (Comparing and contrasting length of play dough “worms”)
P.E.
Friday –    Science/Cooking (Earthworms in the Dirt Dessert)
Community Meeting
