CLASS UPDATE

* Sign up for the exciting new after school enrichment R.O.V. (Underwater Robotics) Class at: http://riodelmarafterschool.blogspot.com

* This week we are learning about all of the winter holidays including: Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and Saturnalia. On Friday we will take a History Quiz from the notes we took in class.

* The Heritage Report project was sent home and this week our homework is to simply schedule/plan interviews during the break. Also, choose and write the questions you would like to add to the interviews...
                   * Extra Credit-Go to a local retirement housing establishment and interview somebody there. People LOVE to tell there stories and these communities are often forgotten.

* On Thursday students will dress up and recite their poems in front of the class. Parents are invited! 8-9:15am. Students will be graded on their memorization, volume, expression, eye contact and pacing. I will take pictures and we will have treats. A big thank you to Erin Allshouse for organizing what people will bring.

* In Math we will wrap up our Unit of Study on Adding and Subtracting Fractions

* Thursday at 1pm will be the Big Spin and Academic Awards.

* On Friday the AR Goal is due and I will send home progress reports

* Friday at 1pm we will have our White Elephant Gift Exchange

That's it for now!
