If you haven’t filled out and turned in your goal sheet PLEASE fill it out and bring it to class next week. This lets us know which books everyone picked to read and also if you want to participate in the bonus level. To view the awards for the different goal options go to THIS link.
Presentations
It is helpful to work on your presentation a little each week. Make sure to go to this link and see what date you are going to be giving your presentation on. Remember they need to be at least 15 minutes long. Give your presentation to a family member before giving it to the class.
Adysen Alexander, Esther Levie and Ivan Swan will be giving our presentations next week!
Required Reading Book
Finish reading I Am a Man or Sacagawea by next week! Come to class prepared to discuss and analyze the book.
Make sure to pick two more books/documentaries from the 1st semester of our SUPPLEMENTAL READING LIST to watch/read over the semester. Next week is about halfway through the semester so it would be helpful to have one of the supplemental reading books/documentaries watched/read.
