What a busy, productive, and crazy-fun week!  I am so proud of all of you for working hard to finish up your NHD projects.  I realize that some of you are still not quite done, but most of you have made great progress, worked hard, and are close to done.  Here are some notes about next week:

Monday:

• Guided Reading/Grammar/Art (7:35-8:20):   We will continue the Paragraph Writing Strategy, and afterward students will have the option to either read quietly or work on fine-tuning their NHD projects.
• Advanced Math (8:30-9:30):  We will be playing a Jeopardy review game, and the test will be Wednesday.  Tuesday night from 7pm-8pm.  Instructions will be on Edmodo.
• NHD/SS (9:30-noon):  Our primary goal for NHD on Monday will be to finish the process paper and fine-tune the annotated bibliographies.  Once both of these are completed and turned in, you can work on adding finishing details to the projects.  (If you happen to be done, you can read quietly.)

Tuesday:  FISH HATCHERY FIELD TRIP

Wednesday:  We will be sharing NHD projects.  You will have the opportunity to view and assess others' projects, as well as your own.  Lastly, Thursday's schedule will be shared with you.

Thursday:  You will each be given a specific time during which to meet with your category judges.  During this time, you will be interviewed (and if you have chosen the performance category, you will first perform for the judges, of course).  All students will be in my room (Mrs. Johnson's room) during the judging time.  Whether or not we have Guided Reading/Art that day is yet to be determined, but we will let you know for sure on Wednesday.

Friday:  NO SCHOOL! Celebrate your accomplishments and hard work, and enjoy the day off! :)
