- Orchestra is Monday. Remember to bring your instruments.
- Student Authored Book (Fairy Tales) - To facilitate student work on the fairy tales, no other language arts homework will be assigned this week. Students will receive math homework each night. Upcoming due dates-
3/10 Typed and printed fairy tales due to Ms Convey. Please follow formatting instructions carefully. Students do not need to bring in the flash drive. Students are encouraged to turn in their stories early if they can.
3/15 Students will receive their stories back with my notes. Students should then make any corrections/ additions that they feel will improve their fairy tale.
