Looking Ahead: Week of November 28th

Dear Parents,

We are happy to see more and more students returning to school with improved health! We will support students who missed out on work, both in class and as homework. With three weeks left of school before the Christmas holiday, there will be two weeks of Literacy and Spelling while the last week will be spent in holiday themed writing and activities. Here is the PDF of the Week’s Spelling, Verse, and Reminders!Nov 28-Dec 2 PDF

Please read the following updates on the big Science and Social Studies projects the students are researching. You can help your student prepare for their Oral Presentation by having them practice at home. Teachers will be grading off of the following rubric, looking for things like eye contact, a good volume/tone of voice, having an organized presentation with a beginning, middle, and end. presentation_rubric
