Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed some much-needed time off. We have a busy few weeks coming up, so please be sure to check here often for updates!
* Artist Reports should be completed at home and are due this Friday, December 2nd. Homework will be light this week so students can focus on their projects. The 5-paragraph report (typed or hand-written), timeline, and portrait are all due together. They can be attached to a posterboard, or compiled in a folder. Only final drafts should be turned in, not the rough drafts. The speeches (5-6 sentences in 1st person) do not need to be turned in.
Our Wax Museum will be taking place this Thursday and Friday, December 1st and 2nd, from 9:00 - 10:00 in the cafeteria. This is where I will be grading students' speeches. Students need to come prepared both days with their costumes! I hope you are all able to attend one of our performances! If you have any questions about the project, please send me an email.
* Today students are bringing home paper bags and information about our food drive!
This week we will...
...continue our latest Writer's Workshop project. Students will be creating Super Hero picture books for their reading buddies!
...continue with our Magnetism and Electricity unit in Science. There will be a brief, open-book test Thursday! The first 2 links in the Science section of our Student Links are very helpful study guides! (Thank you Mr. McMillan for sharing!)
...go to the Big Spin on Friday afternoon! This is an upper-grade assembly in which students can win prizes, and are honored for various achievements.
