Trimester 2 ended on Friday, March 1st. Teachers are still working on finalizing grades. You will be emailed when grades are completed next week.
The Upcoming Week at School:
Reading: This week students will finish their country chapter books. They are due on Wednesday, March 6th. This week we will also focus on the reading skill main idea and detail. Students should turn in their February reading logs on Monday, March 4th, if they have not already done so. They will receive a March reading log.
Culture Week: Please make sure to look at the letter that was sent home about Culture Week! In a nutshell, this is what is expected from each student:
1. Pick any 3 chapters and practice reading them. Students will read these to the class.
2. Make something that shows your connection to the country (slide, poster, index card, video).
3. Bring in 2 items that represent your country (ie: music, food, instrument, pictures, book, souvenirs, flag photo, etc.)
I look forward to hearing each student present on their assigned date (3/11, 3/12, 3/13, 3/14, or 3/15). Students will receive a paper copy of their research paper on Wednesday, March 6th, when the paper is due that they can use to help practice. For the time being, they can practice reading their paper from their Chromebook.
