It's long past Christmas...

but we’ve had weather conditions worthy of that time of year! It’s certainly been an adventure! We want to thank all of you for being patient and flexible with our unusual circumstances these past two weeks. We’re glad that everyone was able to get to and from school safely despite winter weather conditions. This is a winter to remember!

The Next Steps

Today your child learned about the next steps in finishing their prehistoric animal report. Hopefully they are all done with their research and can use the information they have learned to put together an interesting presentation. It was modeled for them how to organize their information and put it into their own words.

Encourage your child to be creative in their presentation! Yes, they can turn in a simple report, but they are equally as welcome to make a poster, book, or come up with another creative method to share their information.

Third graders should have at least 3 (handwritten) pages of information contained in their presentation, second graders 2 pages, and first graders 1. The project is due Friday, March 1st. For questions, please see Ms. Cori.

Reminders
