Hello!
The fifth grade students will have some projects due in the next few weeks. I have had several questions about upcoming projects and thought I would update parents and students alike.
- Poetry Unit (given out on Monday, November 23) - Due December 4th
- Explorers Project (given out on Monday November 30th) - Due December 11th
- Book Report (date undecided) - Most likely due before winter break
Cheers,
Miss Klein
