It was nice seeing all of you at Parent/Teacher Conferences last week. Although there are no more official conferences this year, always feel free to contact me if there are any questions or concerns. The adjusted CMT schedule is below – the last day of testing is the Science test on Monday, March 18. Students were introduced to the American Revolution Famous Person Speeches a week ago. Each student was assigned a famous person from the American Revolution era. If they did not like the person they were assigned they were able to change it (with my approval). The deadline for changing the assigned person was last Friday, though. The assignment is to write and give a 3-5 minute speech in the “first person.” That means students should actually pretend they are the famous person and dress up as that person, too. They will have four weeks – the speeches will be on Thursday, April 11 and Friday, April 12.
