Parents,
Just a couple things to be sure you're hearing correct and complete information from your child.
(1) Test is Thursday. Check the blog to see the topics and the list of what to study. Tomorrow will be an in class review day and I will have a test tutorial after school for those interested.
(2) There is a project that is accompanying this unit. Directions were available on Monday; topics were assigned today. I know this is a busy time, so Friday will be an in-class work day. There is a little bit of research necessary; a specific fact sheet has been provided. Research, if not completed by Friday, should easily be collected during the class work time. Information will then be put into some sort of poster format (poster board or foam board). The directions are in the OneNote notebook. If your child efficiently uses the 45 minutes on Friday in class, I would expect about 45-60 minutes of time to organize and compose the poster. Access to a printer is needed, so be sure - if you're printer isn't working at home - that your child utilizes the access to printers at school on Friday. If your child completes the research ahead of time (before class time on Friday), he/she can construct the poster at school on Friday. Friday is their work time - they can use it as they need it ... but I will expect them to work!
As always, thank you for your support at home for what goes on in the classroom! Remember to check the blog; I update it weekly!
** I am going to Target and can pick up poster board for your child, if that can save you a trip! Have your child bring $1 by Thursday, and I'll have a white poster board here on Friday for the work time.
