2/18 President's Day holiday- no school. No orchestra class this week.
Fairy Tale Book Project - Over the course of the next six weeks your child will be writing an original fairy tale to be published into a bound book. While the bulk of planning, writing, and illustrating will be done in class, your child will be typing his/her project at home in google docs in March. Your child has an LAUSD account for this.
Please check the blog regularly for detailed formatting instructions and due dates. This is a good time to make sure your child has access to a working printer and that you have ink.
Homework: Reminder - please check and sign your child's homework log nightly. Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday.
