Weekly Update 11/15

Happy week before Thanksgiving break!

Announcements:

The end of the trimester is Friday.  This means teachers will no longer be accepting assignments after Friday, so that grading can be finished and report cards created.  

Student led Conferences will continue this evening (Wednesday) for grade 6. If you have not signed up, you can write to sendres@mymtsd-vt.org to make arrangements for the available time slots.

Social Studies:  This week students are continuing to work on their "google slides" presentations on an explorer from the European "Age of Exploration".  We are hoping that they will have them ready to present to you at the student led conferences this week.  By the end of the week, students will practice their presentation skills by going through "round robin" presentations.  This will allow each student to present a minimum of three times to small groups.  They will receive peer feedback after each presentation allowing them to make improvements.

Literacy: Students should be reading a minimum of 20 minutes.  Their literacy storyboard final draft is due.  

Language Arts students have their final assessment of the trimester, a writing piece on Columbus that will be assigned Tuesday and is due by Friday.  This is an in-class only assignment.  

Have a great week!
