All I have to say regarding your exhibition projects is WOW!  Our room was a blur of discovery as they contacted people outside the school with questions, found new resources for their inquiries, and practiced problem-solving skills as they collaborated with their groups.

Please note that I have updated the "Upcoming Events" below with everything else this year!  

Homework:

1) Math: Math UTIPS homework.

2) Language Arts: "Elvis Presley" OR "Eleanor Roosevelt" reading comprehension practice. (I'll accept either).

3) Read 20 minutes & turn in signed reading log!

4) If you didn't already, complete your How the World Works Assessment!  Click here for the rubric!  Remember, you can choose any format--an essay, a skit, a Prezi--but it needs to be neat and informative!

5) Missing work--there is TONS, mostly due to no-names!!

Items of Business: 

*NEW: We are in need of Clorox Disinfectant Wipes!  Thank you so much! 

*Class Store: If you have any extra soda, candy, trinkets, jewelry, or toys that you would like to donate to class store, please send it with your child! We would like to do one more often to serve as a motivator for positive behavior!
