Greetings to all!
We are already a week and a half into our 20th Century Project research, and the students are finding great information on their perspective topic! The goal is to find at least 5 facts about the experiences their group of people (i.e. soldiers, African Americans, Latinos, women, children) endured in each of the four 20th Century conflicts - WWI, The Great Depression, WWII, and the Civil Rights Movement. Then, they write a brief, one paragraph summary for each conflict. The students will use these summaries in their presentations. They will have a choice of a variety of media in which they will present their project information. The media workshops for the "design" portion of the project begin next week; the students are very excited to get to put all of the pieces together to create something unique and memorable! FYI - Your child might bring his/her flashdrive home one night this week (and most definitely this weekend) to finish his/her conflict summaries. All conflict summaries should be complete by Monday, May 24th.
Also, our Space Camp Trip is steadily approaching! Ms. A, Mrs. Bostic and I will be sending home information on what to pack, our schedule, and other specific details by the end of this week.
Our Math Unit 12, which covers rates, will come to a close with the End-of-Unit test on Monday, May 24th. I will send home a Study Guide today.
Thank you for your continued support! I will send more information, soon! Until then, have a wonderful week!
