For the week of February 18th-21st

Just as a reminder, we have several BIG deadlines approaching:

 1.  All pictures for our story books must be completed by this Friday.  The nice thing is, most of the work is being done in class!  

 2.  Next Wednesday, Feb. 26th, your students research paper for their State Fair project must be done.  I am returning all the research worksheets tomorrow to your student to use as a guide for this paper.  I am also teaching several lessons on summarizing information and how to outline.  I hope this saves some struggles at home with writing a paper.  

  3.  Please be editing your student's story for their book.  They cannot start printing out their final copies until you finish your edits.  Parent edits are due no later than Friday, Feb. 28th.

On a side note,  I just want to express my gratitude towards my parents and students.  You guys are wonderful and I am grateful for the support, the food and the little tokens of appreciation I have received throughout the year.   I apologize for not sending individual thank yous but please know I can't do what I do without your help and support.  Thank you for all you do!
