Social Studies
Grade fours should be finishing their book this weekend. Remember to include 8 different non-fiction features in your book. If you're short, try a textbox or sidebar. A "Did You Know?.... interesting tidbits of information on one of your subtopics. After tomorrow, you must spend your own time at school to finish your book. You will have a double period on the computers tomorrow morning. Many mind maps are not finished.....

Grade fives you should be done your brochure. We are going to have a mini-lesson on Truth and Conciliation tomorrow. I think some of you are a bit confused. I'm also going to give you a few minutes to reread your brochure. Many of you just copied the information word for word from the textbook.

Thanks to Ian who shared his questions and answers about his tool/object. I cannot give you back your project rubric until I receive them.
