Hello Parents!

Today the students started off their morning with a unit 9 math pretest. Once they were done, they were instructed to independently work on their novel study project. I pulled students one by one to update their IB Portfolio, and they were asked to take their leftover Biodiversity work home.

After lunch, the students filled out a KWL Chart about Government (their new UOI topic), and put it into their UOI duotang. They left for gym, and then they continued working on their novel study project when they came back.

After second break, the students had French, and then they filled out their agendas when they got back to class. After, some students put their final touches on their project, and the remaining students played a brain teaser game. Shortly after, they got ready to go home.

Just a few important notes before I go:

1.       Novel Study: the final project is due TOMORROW, and they will be presenting their projects in front of the class. Presentations will begin at 9am- please make sure your child is on time!

2.       Wednesday (March 29^th) is casual day. 

3.       SPELLING: Lesson #23 test on Friday (March, 31^st). Words are up on the blog!
