Final PTC Sign-up
It is that time of year for conferences! This will be our final conference of the year. Students will be leading these conferences and must be present. Please sign-up for one slot as we are limited due to Ms. Lana’s master class schedule. We look forward to visiting with you!
Final Home Projects Due May 7th
Each student will present a favorite book they have read. If they are not yet reading fluently, they may choose a book someone has read to them. They will need to tell about the main characters, a brief summary of the book, and share why they liked it. They will need a visual aid to accompany their report. Visual aids can be in the form of a newspaper article, diorama, kite book report, board game with questions, etc. There are endless possibilities beyond a tri-fold! If possible, I would like each student to bring the book as well. Home projects will be due May 7th, 2018.
