Dear Families,

Your child should have brought home their picture packet last week.  If you are not satisfied with the results please use the additional form that was sent home yesterday for picture retakes on Nov. 19.

I’ve had some questions about what is the difference between “Show and Teach” and “Home projects”.  Show and teach is when a student brings an item from home and tells us a few things about it. It can be a special souvenir or collection.  It can also be a talent or craft that the student would like to demonstrate or teach about.   “Home projects” require the students to do research and more long-term preparation.  A home project is more in depth.

Our next home project will be due the first week of December.  This time each child will be choosing a U.S. state, Canadian province, or country in Central America to present for our North American continent studies.  They will be responsible to research and prepare a visual aid of their state, etc. They should come prepared to teach the class about it.  Most of the children have already decided which location they would like to research.  I will be providing a schedule of what day your child’s project will be due.

Our class feast will be held the same day as the school gratitude feast.  More details to come next week.

Have a great weekend!
