We are all just about done with our Chuck Close portraits after two weeks of focus on them during art time. Check them out! 

Ms. Korn has been coming in every other Monday to do a “News Kids Can Use” lesson with the 5th and 6th graders. Instead of presenting the articles to the class, Ms. Korn will be bringing articles into the classroom for the students to read and present to their peers. This way of reading articles has been successful because everyone is engaged!   
    
 Coming home with your child this evening will be a page connected to his or her homework that gives due-dates for our Ancient Civilization research project. Your child will be researching, writing about, and creating a Power Point Presentation for either Greece, Rome, China, or Egypt. Please support your child by asking questions about what he or she is researching in class and by finding supplemental videos and articles for additional learning after school! Thanks so much.
