We have made it through the sixth week of Passion Projects.  Most students turned in their bibliographies.  There are several that didn’t turn theirs in or didn’t have at least 3 sources.  Please make sure they find a third source. 

Passion Project Fair will be next Wednesday, May 29^th from 12:45-1:45.  Parents are invited to attend!! 

We have made it through the fifth week of Passion Projects.  Your child should be working on the project portion meaning, how are they going to teach others about their topic.  For example, will they use a tri-fold, a model, a PowerPoint or all three?  Your child will need to provide their own tri-fold for their project.   

This week, bibliographies are due next Friday!  Please make sure your child has at least 3 different sources for information and these are filled out on their bibliography.  

 

We have made it through the fourth week of Passion Projects.  Last Friday, your child should have completed their paragraph summaries.  I am having them type them in their digital portfolios so you can access them from home.  A lot of students need to get caught up on this portion. 

This week, your child should be ready to start planning the project portion of their passion projects.  This can be a PowerPoint presentation, tri fold board and/or a model.  

Science: We made it through the second week of Passion Projects. Every Friday, they complete a reflection on their progress for that week. You should see these come home every Friday. Last Friday, your child should have completed notes on essential questions 1 and 2. A lot of students need to get caught up on this before moving on to essential questions 3 and 4. 

 

This week, your child's research on their essential questions 3 and 4 are due on Friday!
