Hi All,
It was great to see some of our friends at the third grade dance party. Tomorrow is another Zoom meeting at 9:30am. Please come with any questions you might have on the state project.
Don’t forget, those of you who have access to Imagine Learning, please take advantage of it! The school can earn gift cards. Therefore, if we win as a school, Mrs. S will put all the students’ names into a drawing to be given the card.
Remember students should spend about 20-30 minutes on each subject area. Also, just a reminder that at 1pm each day, a faculty member will read aloud a story on the RM YouTube channel. If computer/internet access is limited, please use the alternative options.
I will be available to answer questions from 9-10:30 everyday. However, please don’t hesitate to email me if questions come up throughout the day. Also, I am happy to meet one-on-one with your child via Zoom, if he/she needs additional support. Please let me know! Ways to communicate with me from 9-10:30 are:
- Class Dojo
- Blog Comments
- Email

Assignment:
For the next two weeks, you are going to be working on researching a state in our country that has been assigned to you. Take your time and do a little each day. Your writing assignments for the next two weeks will be part of this project also.
You will be following the “State Brochure” directions (linked below) for the information that needs to be included. These directions are for a trifold brochure, but you may present your information in a Power Point, Sway, poster, etc. as long as you include ALL of the information listed in the directions. The second link is a rubric. You will not be graded, but this will help you understand the expectations. These projects will be turned into your teacher in whatever way makes the most sense by Thursday, May 7th.

Have fun!
