January is almost over!

Milestone #2 – I am so proud of all the hard work that all the students did to complete Milestone #2. It is, by far, the best work I have seen in a long time. I understand exhibitions can be tedious, however, if you work a little at a time to complete them, it doesn’t seem so difficult.

Milestone #3
– Milestone #3 is due on Thursday, February 17th. This milestone consists of ALL visual aids for the state project. This means that your Power Point or display board along with your billboards, brochures, etc. for each city. Examples of milestone #3 work will be posted on the wiki and sent home on Monday, January 31st.

Homework – Homework is assigned every day. It is important for students to complete each assignment with the best of their ability. Homework is assigned to help reinforce skills talked about and discussed in class. Please encourage students to complete their homework and turn it in daily.

Have a great weekend!
