Room 12 Update

* We have our Heritage Projects due this week on Thursday, April 11th, so there will be little homework to focus on, hopefully, the finishing touches. Remember to complete each required part of the project from the guideline sheet that was sent home. You can also click on the Heritage Report link on the right side of the blog. PLEASE BRING DIGITAL IMAGES FOR YOUR POWERPOINT PROJECT on Wednesday. We will use the powerpoint project to give our speech.

* Next, with all of the extra time over the break, you are more than welcome to begin your Science Project. It is not due until Tuesday, May 7th. I signed and returned the Investigative Plan and sent home the poster board directions. There will be NO written report required, just the Poster Board and speech.

* In RTI we are continuing Crispin chapters 36-47 and our Comprehension Reading Skill and Strategies are Main Idea and Supporting Details along with Monitoring/Clarifying. We will have 10 challenging Spelling/Vocab words, so make sure to learn and practice these during the week.

* In Math we will be focusing on Integers...adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers.

* In History we will start Ch. 10 on The Constitution. I hope we all pay attention and learn a lot about this important time in history because it is the central theme of our play and the most important document in our country. Hopefully our presidents will follow it!

That's it for now!
Mr. Sweet
