Thank you...

I cannot express how much those things were needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you…

Milestone 3-State Project Example

Below you will find an example of Milestone 3 from a previous student. 


Don't forget that Milestone 3 should not include any words, except for headings, titles, or sub-titles. It is expected that students memorize all of the information from their Milestone 2 outline as a way to demonstrate knowledge gained!

Field Trip to the University of Michigan

IT’S TIME FOR OUR COLLEGE VISIT!

Students have been working to complete all phases of the college project, including sending business letters to colleges for information and goodies, completing a college vocabulary book, pulling out important facts and figures from their chosen college and comparing those facts and figures with a partner’s college.  They’ve started working on their feature articles, which will ultimately “sell” their college at the college fair.

We will be taking the students to the University of Michigan on April 5^th for an all day tour of the campus.  Students will learn about the different schools, buildings, and dorms and we will eat lunch at several of the dorm cafeterias, courtesy of the university. Students must be at school on time (8:30) to prepare for the trip.  Any students who are not at the school by the time the bus leaves will not be able to go on the trip. 

This trip is a privilege for students who have completed all requirements of the college project so far and whose behavior has shown that they will make good choices outside of the school building. Teachers will be determining who will be invited to go based on the requirements and behavior.

The cost of the trip is $5. This money needs to be turned in to teachers by April 4^th.

Students will need to bring the following items for the trip:

·      They are to dress in uniform for the trip.

·      Comfortable walking shoes (not necessarily uniform)

·      Sunscreen (if desired)

·      Hat (if desired)

·      Sunglasses (if desired)

·      Disposable camera (if desired)

****We go rain or shine, so students need to be prepared. ****

Brag Board-April

Brag Board

April

The brag board will be changing for the month of April. Please fill out the egg with the sentence starter,

(Child’s name) is an “eggspert” in__________________________________.

This was evident when ____________________________________________.

I want you to highlight something that your child has a lot of knowledge about that may not be known to a lot of people.

For example:  

·      Jason is an “eggspert” about animals. This was evident when we went to the zoo and he was able to tell me facts about the various animals that I didn’t even know!

·      Jason is an “eggspert” in playing the piano. This was evident when he completed his first solo assemble in front of a huge audience.

·      Jason is an “eggspert” at drawing. This is evident in all of the artwork that is on display around our house.

After you have written your comments, please have your child decorate the egg neatly and creatively!!!

I will be keeping each of the brag board templates to make a small book at the end of the school year as a keepsake for your child. The children love reading your words on our board every day. Thank you for taking the time to complete them.
