Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 1-19-16

Parents,

Reading and Social Studies - Due to the short weeks, both this week and last, we will be catching up in reading this week.  That means there will not be an ELA sheet or spelling list.  In Social Studies, we will begin our presentations tomorrow.  Please ask your child to practice his or her presentation for you.


2nd Quarter Reading Rewards - Any student who went above their quarterly goal and reached 125%, 150%, or 200% will receive their rewards on Thursday.  A special congratulations to those who earned above 200% and will join me for pizza on Thursday - Jack Choma, Oakleigh Gross, Jaden Moosman, Melissa Smoyer, Zachary Bergman, and Elizabeth Elton.


"I Have a Dream" Speech - The students are starting a 2 week long assignment today modeling an "I Have a Dream" speech like MLK. We will be using Aurasma for this project. The Aurasma app will combine a picture they draw with a recording. We will be working on this in class but they will be asked to practice their speech at home. We will be recording their speeches through Aurasma on January 29th.
