Our research reports need a couple of extra days to be completed. We will NOT be sharing them tomorrow. Instead, we will begin writing our final drafts! I think the extra time will be well worth it and you will be most impressed with our young authors. I am very proud of their efforts so far! Look for their final copies to come home next week to be proofread before they are shared and turned in for a grade.
On another note, your children have blown me away in their eagerness to learn! Several weeks ago they mentioned that they would like to interview a family member and share with the class what they learned. As it turns out, Weekly Reader News has a contest along these lines. I will send home the details of the contest tomorrow for those who are interested. Students who would like to participate should turn in their reports Thursday, February 10th so that I can mail them by the 11th. THIS IS NOT AN ASSIGNMENT--it is completely optional. Students who choose complete this project will be rewarded with classroom cash to be used in our class store. They will also receive a free homework pass for their efforts.
I absolutely LOVE their enthusiasm for learning. Thank you for sharing your ambitious learners with me -- they are delightful!!!!
In Him,
Jennifer Handey
