Hi everyone,
Just a few things,
Math retest this week on Wednesday, for those students who got a "C", "C-" or "F" on the unit 2 test last week. Those students know who they are, but if anyone is not sure, they should come and ask me.
Recorder test - students who missed the test last week or would like to redo it should come and see me to arrange a time after school this week. I need to have all the school recorders returned to school, so please send it if you have one at home. Another class will be using them (after they've been disinfected!) starting this week.
Speeches - all students in grades four and five at Westwood are currently working on writing a speech. We've been doing this in class for two weeks now, so if you haven't heard about it at home, feel free to ask your child how their speech is going. They should be doing research at home, as class time for that sort of thing is limited. The criteria are as follows:
Length: 1 min. 30 sec.to 3 minutes, with the goal being around 2-2 and a half minutes.
Topic: students' choice
Type: one of the three main types of speech, narrative (tells a story), expository (a factual report of some kind), or persuasive (tries to convince the listener of something).
Speeches should be finished being written this week. Students will be presenting them in class next week.
