READING
We’ve finished A Boy Called Bat, and we’ve been busy delving deeper in concepts surrounding the book. You should have seen your student working on an Autism poster. This was due today, so please have a chat to ensure that your child handed his/hers in.
Also, we started our final, in-class project last week, and are finalizing it this week. Here are the instructions that they received.
Design challenge time! You and your group have 3 days, 30 minutes per day, to design and build a project related to the book, A Boy Called Bat. It can be anything at all, so long as you can build it with materials available to you in class and it shows a clear connection to the story. Once completed, your masterpiece will go into the Design Museum. What? Your school doesn’t have a Design Museum? Well, you’ll just have to create on then, won’t you? All of your other projects can go into the museum as well. Then invite other classes to take a field trip to your museum.
I’ve been so impressed with every concept and their work ethic. I can’t wait to share the final details with you!
SPELLING
Please encourage your child to study his/her spelling words and work on their spelling contract. They should aim to get 20 points on their contract by Friday.

WRITING
We weren’t quite able to publish our first batch or personal narratives, so we’ll be busy with that this week. Following this, students will be asked to create another personal narrative (hopefully Christmas themed), entirely on their own. Please be sure to check in with your child, to ensure that they are busy working on their narratives.
