I hope you and your family had a pleasant and warm Thanksgiving holiday with many opportunities to play, read and be renewed.
Monday and Tuesday are two exciting days full of reading activities throughout GBMS. Please remind your student to bring several books of choice to classes for silent sustained reading. There will also be a variety of activities that lead up to the author visit on Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday evening is Family Literacy Night, and we hope to see all of you there.
On Monday in Language Arts, students are revisiting the purpose of a research paper with a fill in the blank activity (located under handouts). By now they should have completed and revised their research topic, found at least one source, and turned in their 3x5 cards and two pocket folder. They also need to bring a flashdrive to class each day for the next month. Student should not rely on typing only at home or at school, so they need the flashdrive to carry the information back and forth. The schedule for the research paper and other research documents are available under handouts.
Thanks for helping your student stay focused through the three weeks before Winter Break.
