Week of:  November 16th:
This week starts our research on Country Reports.  We will use class time to work on a rough draft.  These drafts will come home Thursday with instructions.  
Please sign and return the bottom portion on Friday.

Help from home will be needed, but don't fret.  It's very straightforward.  Most help will be needed for the students to include some interesting facts and customs, PRACTICE their oral presentation, and if you want to "spice it up a bit."  Don't be afraid to make it FUN!  
Students will present their information in front of the class using a poster OR slideshow.  
A slideshow template will be sent this Monday in Google Classroom.  Students do not have to use this, but it may be helpful.  They can add or delete things, change backgrounds, or create one of their own! 

Examples will be shown in class ~ both good and bad.  
Written reports are due:  Monday, December 7th.  Presentations will begin this day as well.  Your child will be assigned the day he/she is presenting. 

There will be no Spelling words this week and no new story in Reading.  We will continue reading our chapter book, Thank You, Squanto!

Gym is on Tuesday.

Please send in your yarn by Friday.  We are beginning our special project that day.
