Gratitude

I am thankful for a wonderful fall 

and the creation of an amazing group of students 

that have learned how to work together as a team!

       

   I  hope you all had a relaxing Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family. It was beautiful weather and so nice to be able to spend time outdoors. I enjoyed meeting with all of you before the holiday and getting a chance to share the many exciting things your children have done over the past few months of school. Please remember that you do not need to wait until the next set of conferences to contact me if you need an update. I am always available :)

  This week we will be starting a new research project. Each student will be responsible for working in a collaborative team to research a traditional holiday from around the world. They will each individually write a research paper and as a group prepare a Google Presentation that will be shared with the class the few days before we leave for break. Your child may need to do extra research online or at the library in order to find all of the necessary information. As with all projects this is an open ended project and I love it when the students add flare to their presentations. Information will be given to the students over the next couple of days, please contact me if they are unclear about the assignment or requirements. They will be given time at school to complete 50 - 75% of it.

  Enjoy the next 3 1/2 weeks they go by fast!
