I hope your 10 days off from school were restful and fun. I was able to get up to Bear Valley and snowboard a couple of days, rest and do a couple projects....including the Heritage Project with Josiah! I truly hope this project is an enriched and meaningful experience for you like it has been for us. I have learned so much about my family that my dad and mom never even told me! I have decided to extend the due date to this Friday, April 13th, instead of the 12th due to the fact that we have this Monday off. Some people have struggled with how to organize the main body. I found the easiest way to be dividing up the maternal and paternal side. From there, with some headings of: Family Facts, Fun Stories, Origins, Famous People, Ethnicity graph etc. Hopefully this helps a little. There will be very little homework this week...going over Math classwork and Reading a new book.
This week we will start putting together our Power Point Presentations about our family heritage projects. Please have your child put some family photos on their flash drives dating back as far as possible. These Power Point Projects help improve the quality of the speeches and the engagement of the class. If possible, have these photos by tomorrow, or Wednesday. If you don't have any, we can use the Internet.

Before the break I also sent home the script for our upcoming performance of the musical: 13 Colonies. We will be auditioning for parts in the coming weeks so each child should begin practicing their lines for the roles that they would like to try out for. This performance will tentatively be on Friday, June 1st, at 8:00 a.m. and 1pm.
I will be sending an audio cd of the songs that each child can sing and learn at home. Have fun with that! The songs get STUCK in your head.
In American History we will start learning about the formation of our government and the constitution after the revolution. In Math we will be reviewing Percentages.
Please let me know if you have any questions about any of this.
Back to school for only two more months!
