11/13 Regions Report

 

Students have been working on their United States Regions project for 3 weeks now.

Each student should have:

  1. The research-ing paper- there is a list of questions students should answer to help with their paper.  Finished by 11/3. (We did research in class the week of 10/26-10/30)
  2. Rough Draft completed by 11/13 (Time was given in class & students were asked to finish at home if they needed to)
  3. Started typing research paper into a Google Doc on 11/13 (Many students completed 1-3 paragraphs in class today)

The 1st 2 paragraphs typed are due on Monday. Students can access their Google Doc via Google using their school email address. We went over this in class. (Type Google Docs into the search bar of your internet browser). If your child does not have internet access please write me a note and make sure their rough draft is ready to be typed into a Google Doc on Monday.

Henry Ford Centennial Library is open tomorrow, Saturday from 9:30-5:30    –> Click here for more information Library Hours

The students decided that posting helpful information for each day or homework or assignment would be fit under “Daily Planner Snapshots” as well.

Online games or class reviews will be posted under “Websites & Helpful Links “

Updates on Specials will be listed under “Specials Schedule and Info.” 

Spelling words & our weekly Word Work paper are posted under “Weekly Spelling Words.”
