We played Kickball Madness this morning in Homeroom- so fun! For the Middle Ages Faire (JUNE 5), Duffield's Homeroom is working on creating a cathedral for their CLASS project; while Kruger's CLASS project is stained glass. EACH student also needs to complete work on their chosen "guild." A four page parent letter went home explaining this project/guild- please contact me with questions.

Our work above is from our realistic fiction pieces- character development charts. We have to know our characters so well that we know how much money they are carrying in their pockets. In reading, I sent home a reading log with the students. They CAN, not required, take part in the program called Feed the Read. They need to chart their reading minutes for 4 weeks- starting on 4/19/15. If they read 150 minutes/week for 4 weeks, they are given a free Food Fight Meal from a couple of their restaurants and a free family week pass at the YMCA. This is optional.
