Parent & Students, The Tri-Fold Artist Book Report (a 5th grade Bel Aire tradition) has now

been assigned. Please read over the assignment packet students have been given very carefully together. If you have any questions, please be sure to email me. The final project is due on Wednesday, April 9th. The Benchmark Dates below arent necessarily due dates, but they are benchmark dates that encourage students to pace themselves since this project has quite a few components. They DO NOT need to turn in these pieces every week. These guidelines are set so they dont fall behind. They should be working on this project every evening during their homework time. Please reinforce the necessity of staying up-to-date (and not up late :). I will grade them using the rubric, which is in their assignment packet.
