Important Information:
• The typed rough draft of the research paper is due on Wednesday, April 29. Remember our library is open before school everyday except Wednesdays. It is open everyday after school from 3:30 - 4:30, as well. Final Research paper is due on Tuesday, May 12th.
• We will begin working on the Visual Aids this week. Students will all receive a rubric explaining the requirements- be sure to review this carefully and follow all the expectations and requirements. The visual aid is due on Thursday, May 14th.
• Thanks to all the parents who volunteered to lead a lit circle! I know how busy your schedule is and I really appreciate it! I will send home a Lit Circle Folder for all volunteers on Wednesday. As always please call or email with any questions.
• Our next Reading Log is due on Tuesday, May 15th. Some students may wish to read The Egypt Game novel if they haven’t already read it. Since The Egypt Game relates to my S.S. unit, I’ll count it as 2 books for any student that would like to read it for this reading log. Students must complete two different log entries on the May Reading Log.
