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 3^rd 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.

Milestone 2 - Interest Project facts

On Thursday, Nov. 17, Milestone 2 - Interest Project facts, is due. I sent the Milestone form home approximately 2 weeks ago. Students need to turn in a written explanation of 5 facts they have learned about thier interest topic.  In the event that some research questions have not been answered, list the information your child is still in the process of researching.

Red Ribbon Week/Harvest Festival

During the week of Oct. 25-28, our school will recognize Red Ribbon Week. This week celebrates being alcohol, drug and violence free. We will discuss making good choices, role models, and end the week with our Harvest Festival Parade. On Friday, Oct. 28, from 1:30-2:30, students will be allowed to wear costumes during the parade and trick-or-treat through the school. Costumes must be appropriate for school - no monsters, masks, witches, weapons, or revealing clothing. Students thoroughly enjoyed the parade last year - we look forward to another fun filled day!

No School, Monday, Oct. 24

Just a reminder that there is no class on Monday, October 24 because of Teacher Professional Development. See you on Tuesday, Oct. 25!

Milestone 1 - Resources

The first Milestone is due this Thursday, October 20. Students need to turn in the Resources worksheet sent home two weeks ago. Students must have at least 3 resources and should use sources in addition to the internet, not only the internet. I look forward to seeing what my students find!
