This week, my main concern is to make sure each student has a book selected for his or her book report. Most students have let me know their title, but a few have not. This book can be any chapter book that your child has read as a fifth grader. The book needs to be completed by Dec. 9, and each student needs an empty cereal box by that date as well. The book report itself will be done completely in class. The students will make a cereal box book report, creating a cereal to go with their book. Please help your child select a book and get it read by that date. This Thanksgiving weekend may be a great time for some extra reading.
As for projects, many groups selected digital presentations, so very few supplies are needed. A few notes went home about tri-fold display boards, but check with your student about supplies for their Earth Systems project.
We have been writing gratitude journal entries this week and last week, and when I count my blessings, I count each of these wonderful students and families! Each student add so much to our class. Have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday.
