SPRING PORTRAIT DAY:
All students will be photographed tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3, with an exciting spring background. No money is needed on picture day. A proof picture and order instructions will be sent home for purchase. A “Retake Day” will not be scheduled.
WRITING:
Congratulations to our Young Author finalists: Max Hinton, Sophia Reynoso and Micah Sue. Their stories will advance to the next judging level with the AP Honors English high school class which will determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. The 1st place winners will sign their published stories at a Young Authors table at our spring open house in May.
READING:
The required reading for the month of March is autobiography or biography. Students will dress up as their person and give a first person oral report on Wednesday, March 25 and Thursday, March 26. Instructions for the oral report and a grading rubric will be sent home this week.
Class time will be given every day for silent reading and students are expected to read a minimum of 10 pages a day. If they are unable to complete this in class, then reading becomes homework.
