Board Game Project (Think Show) Tips and Reminders

Some tips and reminders:

•  Tip: (Optional) Your child can use an old board game and cover or paint over it .(Then you already have the box, game, etc.)
• Your child will bring home their math books for guidance in making the problems. (If it does not make it in their bookbag, I will be doing the morning intersession, let me know, and I can put it in the office for you to grab.)
• The theme must be one of these things: (It cannot be a 'Genre Bingo' Book, which is a book your child read independently nor can it be a Read Aloud book (a book I read completely to them.)

Horned Toad Prince

Youth Chinese Test Deadline

The deadline for students applying for the Youth Chinese Test (YCT) is this Friday, October 8. Flyers were sent home last week. There are many students in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th at Campus School that are fully prepared to take the YCT I and/or YCT II test(s). Scholarships are available for the $10 testing fee, if needed. We can also assist students with sample tests and training/tutoring sessions if needed.
I have included a link that outlines more about the YCT for your convenience.
