Picture Day Wednesday, Nov. 30

Picture Day is Wednesday, Nov. 30! If you would like to order pictures, send in the completed order form with payment on Wednesday. You can also order online. If you are ordering pictures, your student may dress down. If you are not ordering pictures, your student must come dressed in uniform.

Milestone 3 - Visuals


Next Thursday, December 8, the 3rd Milestone is due.  Students need to turn in the completed visual they will use to present their Interest Project. Students should bring:

For tri-fold boards
·      Their completed tri-fold board or the pictures they will put on their board.

For Power Point Presentations
·      A flash drive or cd with the completed presentation on it. You can also email it to me if the file is not too large and you don’t have a flash drive or cd: Lastle@uprep.com

For poster boards, models, etc.
·      The completed poster with pictures on it
Or
·      The model they made

Any other materials they will use as a visual should be brought, as well. For example, if your student is learning about being a firefighter and they have a firefighter’s helmet, they can bring that. If they are learning about Australia and want to show it on the globe or map, they can bring in a globe or map.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
