Showcase
project
The information for this project has been posted
on the classroom website. Please take the time to
access the link called Showcase and read this
carefully with your child. The Project
Confirmation Slip has been given to your child.
Please sign and return the Project Confirmation
by Friday. A Project Log has also been provided
for every student. This log will be used to keep
track of all the artifacts that s/he will be creating.
It will also be used to write label sentences for
each artifact. We will be talking a lot about this
project in class this week.
The first artifact is "due" on MONDAY (11th).
The topic is California Regions. Please check
out pictures of sample artifacts on the website. I
will also have artifacts here in the classroom on
display. You may drop in to look at them any
time. The students will always have the option
to work on their artifacts as partners. The
artifact SENTENCE will be written together in
class so you will not have to worry about that
part of the project.

California Missions
Did you visit a mission during
vacation? Remember, I will be
assigning missions for our
research paper coming up in the
spring. If you do, you can reserve that
mission for yourself. It will also give you lots
of schema as we continue learning about
California missions for social studies. If you
go, dont forget to take pictures! You can
include these in your research paper to give
you extra credit points. Its not too late as
we wont be assigned a mission until after
our February break.
