FREE DRESS for a $1

 

Free Dress has been changed to THIS Friday, December 16th, not the 23rd! 

Stapler Anyone?

Because we are hard at work in room 318, we have went through 2 different staplers. We are hoping that someone has an extra one at home that they are not using that could be donated to the class. If you have an extra stapler or you don't mind purchasing a new one for us, we would be grateful!

AGAIN, AS ALWAYS, thank you for everything that you do to support the learning in room 318!

Food Drive ENDS 9/16

This is the last week for the food drive!

Thank you for all for your contributions as we help some UPA families and those in the community by providing them with food items this holiday season. Your support of this food drive has been overwhelming! As you go grocery shopping this weekend, if you could pick up any additional non-perish items, it would be greatly appreciate!

"How To" Rubric

Below you will find the exact rubric that I will be using when grading your child's 1st Semester exhibition project. Please use this to assist your child in preparation for their presentation.

Update: Exhibition Demonstration

It was so nice to see Mrs. Nolen, Ms. Lewis, and Ms. Scott at the Exhibition Demonstration in Mrs. Tiggs' class. Mrs. Tiggs tried making a youtube video of the whole thing for the parents who were not able to attend, but there was some sort of technical difficulty with the video and it didn't work. The good news is that all of my students were present for the demonstration, so your child should be able to tell you what my expectations are and what the exhibition was like. 

A few notes:

• Students are not allowed to read from notes/papers, etc.
• Students should memorize the information that was given in their milestone #2 (history/purpose, step-by-step directions, fun facts)
• Students should tell what their driving question is and explain WHYthey chose it (this should be done as part of their introduction)
• Rehearse the exhibition extensively in order to be prepared for questions. 
• Visual aids are to enhance the exhibition and to retain your audience's attention
