Congratulations to our new Class Mayor, Jacqueline! Congratulations to all our candidates who ran great campaigns, including dynamic speeches today! It was a tough vote for our students! We are really proud of all of you!
Deputy Mayor voting day is Tuesday! We look forward to the next step!
Parents, we are always busy, and we are about to get even busier! A few upcoming reminders:
*IRP - Students need to ensure they are reading their IRP book. We have some students who have already finished! We introduced some of the project today.
There are 4 parts to the project:
1) Read the book
2) Complete a book report (Mrs.Warrener will go over expectations for this next week)
3)Create a project representing the book (We shared different ideas and ways to do this today - creating a puppet show on a particular scene, preparing a monologue from a character in the book, creating a diorama of a scene in the book are among several ideas! Students, start thinking about how you will do this!)
4) Prepare and share an oral presentation for the book.
-There will be class time for teaching mini-lessons on the parts of the book report.
-There will be some class time allotted for IRP time, and the stage students are at. This might be reading time, book report time, project time or time for presentation practice.
