Great job! We have one more Milestone due next Wednesday, May 25. Students need to turn in the visuals for their Interest Project. We will again have a Milestone Celebration for those who turn it in on time, so I hope all my students will participate this time!

Exhibition Sign Up

Yesterday, I sent home the sign up sheet for our last round of Exhibitions. Thank you so much to those families who promptly returned them - I will send home your assigned time tomorrow.

As noted on the sign up sheet, Exhibitions take place the second to last week of the school year. The following week Narratives go home. This means that there will be no room for rescheduling.  Please stay true to your assigned day and time so we can efficiently and successfully finish the year. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing these final projects!
