January 4th

• If your child did not bring their essay, poster or packet to school today, they must bring it in tomorrow to receive full credit.
• If your child did not do their presentation today, they will do it tomorrow, so please have them ready!
• Your child must write a reflection paragraph about their presentation discussing what they learned. They should explain what they learned from doing this project. What did they find difficult and what was easy? Some topics to discuss might be doing research, writing the essay, time management, etc. They may also discuss what they learned from their peers based on their presentations like what they found interesting about a certain person or what they learned from their peers that could make them better presenters, writers, etc. This paragraph should be 5-7 sentences and written on a loose leaf paper. It is due on 1/11, but I will give them time in class to work on it.
• Your child should have the Secret Garden book with them by Monday 1/8 at the latest.
