Classroom Items Needed:

If you are willing and able, the following items are needed in our classroom.  Some of these can be found quite cheaply at dollar stores and the like:

Large (5 X 8) index cards
Small lined and unlined index cards
Scotch Tape (the school's tape doesn't hold well)
Wooden clothespins (not the kind that clasp)

Any help with these items is appreciated!

Animal Research Project

5th Grader, Logan W., typed the following information for parents:

Dear parents,

For a couple weeks we have been working on an animal research project. We started making a rough draft of a report. But the report will not be kept as is because we are going to take it apart for a poster, a book or a diorama.  The students made a project choice. 

This project will be a homework project. The project must be done and turned in by November 23^rd. The project must be done by the student, but the parent can help with little tiny things. 

From Mrs. Perrien:  Students have their research and notes, plus their rough drafts in their research folders.  We’ve discussed the project at school, plus created a rubric for each type of assignment.  This rubric is also in the research folder.

We’ll have a “project share” on the afternoon of the 23^rd.  If you have time, please stop in to see the students’ hard work.  We’ll be inviting the lower Montessori classrooms to visit as well.  Stop in anytime from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. on the 23^rd (if you’re able).
