Thursday marks day 30, with 30 days left in the school year. It’s a long June, but we also have a lot of fun mini-projects (nothing even remotely like the Big 6) and other fun events planned for the rest of the year.
Five weeks ago, the 5-1 Team (four classes, including your child’s) was introduced to the Big 6 Project. Last Monday students received the Big 6 Final Two Weeks packet and Big 6 Rubric 2013, both which outline what they have to complete prior to May 20. During our Spring Open House on May 21 you will be able to visit the classroom and see the final results from the entire class. Basically, this is a Controversial Issue Research Project. We have been spending a lot of time on this in school, teaching explicit research skills, and working on a physical and technology based component. Here is the Big 6 Project 2013 that students received.
I am taking seven students from our class to the Junior Achievement Partners In Achievement Breakfast on Friday. Here is an article on the event from Avon Patch.
