Evaluative Thinking and Communication Activity:
Dear Target Friends,
I have missed you very much! I am sad that we were not able to celebrate the end of the Target year together with Target Theater and some time to talk about all the great things we did together this year. I need you to help Charlie Bones and myself have some closure for this year and give us some feedback for next year. (Parents, Charlie is Target mascot. He happens to be a life size plastic skeleton. We dress him up and use our divergent thinking skills when we write stories and discuss him in class.)
Please write Charlie Bones a friendly letter (you can address him Dear Charlie) in a 3-2-1 format:
3- Tell Charlie three things that you like about or things we do in Target.
2- Tell Charlie two things or activities you would like to do in Target next year.
1 – Tell Charlie one way you plan to use your Target Brain this summer. Then tell Charlie one way you think he is using his Target Brain this summer!
You write more things but that what your letter must have. Find an envelope (or make one), put your letter inside, seal it, and put it into your Target Home Folder until August. Charlie will have a mailbox you can put your letter when we return. He can’t wait to hear from you!
Virtual Hugs,
Mrs. Parsons 😉

Assignments for the week of 5.4
For ALL Target students and families:
The High Museum Challenge!
Have you heard of the Getty Challenge? When the Getty Museum closed, they challenged the Internet to browse its online collection and re-create works of art at home. People used family members, pets and whatever they had lying around to create unique replicas of famous art work. 
The results have gone viral! We are challenging all our Target students to The High Museum Challenge! Here are the rules:
1. Select a piece of art to replicate. Preferably from the High Museum - but we will accept all entries. ***Parents PLEASE closely monitor art searches with your child*** You may also choose one of the safe, previewed choices from the link below:
High Museum Challenge
2. Get creative in finding ways to recreate your piece! Include your siblings and work together! Pets, parents and cousins are also welcome participants.
3. Send your picture to Mrs. Sanders or Mrs. Parsons. We will complile them and send a link so you can see all submissions. Photos will not be publicly shared; we will share only with those who have a link (Target families).
