Weekly Update for September 28- October 2

And...we are off! Both sides of the room will be working on their first Culminating Task in Language Arts. That involves reading, independently, and creating a long piece in the writing type. The kids have been building toward this, and I am excited to see how they do with ownership of the piece.

Please remind your student to practice their mindful strategies of breathing and taking time to check in with themselves throughout the day.

By Friday, our novels should be finished. We will begin to talk about projects that can be created around the novel. This is no ordinary book report!
