Parents and Students of Room 12,
* This week we will have short days all week! I will be facilitating the conferences and we only have 20 minutes each student, so please understand if we have to end on time because other parents have other conferences after our class.
* This week we start our new unit entitled: Structures of Living Things (Plant and Animal Cells, Organ Systems, Plants)
* There will be spelling, but no vocabulary, or DLR with very little homework. This way we can focus on our two projects:
* The Edible Cell and Newspaper Book Project. I handed out construction paper to each student and posted these pics of exemplary projects. These projects were also passed around the class.
* Furthermore, In the computer lab I will teach each student how to convert Word Documents into columns for their Newspaper Project.
* Our class will be reading a story about Richie Valens and a boy in a talent show. We will also learn and sing some of his amazing songs.
* In writing our class will be working on writing effective paragraphs. Our class is struggling with remembering conclusions.
I look forward to seeing you at the conference!
Mr. Sweet
