Below is the calendar approved yesterday by the calendar committee. It now must go to the board for approval. My understanding is that the calendar must sit for one month at the board level and should be officially approved in March. Please remember this is for one year only! The late start and the later end time was must due to the opening of the new schools.

Presenting Research Projects in 5th Grade

Students in Mrs. Brasher's 5th grade Language classes confidently presented research projects that coincided with a unit on informational writing.  Students chose a topic of interest to them and conducted research to find out more about that topic.  Non-fiction books and websites were great sources of information.  Students gathered and organized information in accordance with guidelines provided by Mrs. Brasher.  The final projects were created and saved on Google Slides and students presented to their classmates.  Projects were graded on research, presentation and the content and structure of the slide show.
