Special Posting

REMINDERS: ON MONDAY, PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO WATCH OUR 'DANCE OFF' AT 2:20 IN THE GYM. 
ON WEDNESDAY, PARENTS ARE INVITED TO BOYS CHOIR PERFORMANCE AT 2:20 IN THE GYM.



TODAY WE FACE-TIMED A SENIOR CITIZEN  - MY MOM!
Here are some facts: review with your child. See if  they can tell you more. This will hopefully help your child when they interview their Grandparent. 
When each student returns the answers they've recorded from their Interview with a Grandparent, our buddies will help us review the information that was gathered. Students will be asked to write (and present) (AT LEAST) 5 of the most interesting facts about their Grandparent. 

REMINDER -
Monday, April 23 - Photo of Grandparent and mailing address and Questionnaire Due (or earlier)  (Answers for questionnaire can be printed by an adult or child. Answers can be printed in point form or a full sentence. Students will be using the information to write up a good copy that will be presented on May.8). 
Wednesday, April 25 - Artifact with small explanation of what it is, who used it and why it was important is due. PLEASE NO VALUABLE OR BREAKABLE ARTIFACTS. TAKE A PHOTO OF THE ARTIFACT IF WORRIED ABOUT SENDING TO SCHOOL.
