We have been really busy the last three days. No, we have not caught up on all the work we missed, but we did manage to get a lot done. I was impressed at how willing they were to work after some days off of school. The kids were flexible with the schedule, which made me very happy!
Your child's homework this weekend includes the following:
Math: Finish Homework Workbook p. 103 (both sides)
Language: Grammar Workbook p. 47-48 (if they didn't finish in class)
We also have some upcoming projects. Each has a different due date. I have encouraged the kids to start early and work on a little on one of them each night.
Science Extra Credit (due March 13th)
Create a homemade musical instrument that has at least four pitches. Don't go out and spend a lot of money. Use things you already have at home. (Example: Take bottles and fill with different amounts of water, tie together, and decorate.)
Social Studies (due March 25th)
The students are to choose a Native American tribe, research the tribe, and then create a shadow box of the things they have learned.
Book Report (due March 31st)
Each student has been assigned a novel on their reading level. They are to create a cereal box that has different things on each side that represent different aspects of the book. Please see the project information sheet that was sent home for more information.
D.A.R.E. Essay (due April 1st)
Deputy Anderson has asked the students to write a three-paragraph essay that demonstrates what the students have learned in the class. In order to participate in graduation, they must have written this essay.
