Weekly Preview: 1/10-1/14

6th GOAL: We'll be presenting independent research projects all this week. This is the first time 6th graders have done this. I'm excited to see what they have done!

7th GOAL: We'll be getting more information about History Day this week. The theme of "Debate and Diplomacy" is a tricky one and a great thing to talk about at home for further understanding!

8th GOAL: We'll be finishing up independent research project presentations this week. The next big project for us is Images of Greatness!

7th Language Arts: We're getting back into the routine of spelling with Week 17, Words from Spanish. Book page 105 plus pretest corrections will be due on Wednesday. On Tuesday, we'll have a sharing day to celebrate the end of Writer's Workshop. Then, we'll move into writing another pen pal letter.

Cast & Crew of Bye Bye Birdie: It sounds like some snow is in the forecast. If, by chance, we end up with a snow day, remember that we'll stay exactly on schedule, skipping over the section we missed due to weather. We'll try to pick it or squeeze it in later.

Have a super week! :)
