Hello,
I sent home the permission slips and information for the 5th grade trip to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on June 3. All parents are welcome to join us!
We talked about the organization of the heritage report today and will begin writing the rough draft tomorrow in class. We will continue to work on this each day, and beginning next Wednesday (4/28) I will be assigning parts of the final draft to be completed as homework. Please review the guidelines with your child (yellow half sheet). The final report is due on Wednesday, May 12.

Thanks!

I hope everyone has been successful in obtaining information for the upcoming heritage report. Many of my students have been sharing stories about "famous" ancestors already! We will begin the rough draft of the report next Monday - I hope this extra time to gather a few more facts will be welcomed. I will send home complete report guidelines and expectations next Monday as well. I plan on working on the rough draft of the report in class for about a week and a half and then begin assigning parts of the final draft each day to be completed at home. The entire report will be due Wednesday, May 12.
