Country Research Project

Your child is researching a country of their choice.

We will be presenting on Thursday, May 24.

HOWEVER, your child is doing the research, brochure, and PowerPoint IN CLASS. They can do additional research at home, but that is entirely optional.

*The only aspect that is required from home, is the 2-4 artifacts. Due on Monday, May 21.

Component 2: Artifacts

The student must create 2-4 artifacts related to their country.  These artifacts can be models or representations of the original thing. Items can be handmade.

Examples:

 Possible options: clothing, musical CDs, instruments, traditional art, food, clay models of landmarks, dioramas of the habitat, etc. Please include name on all artifacts.

**If your child chooses food...

Please bring it in on Thursday, May 24 for the presentation time, if it is perishable. If it is non-perishable, they must bring it in with the rest of their artifacts on Monday, May 21.

***Homemade Food must contain a note regarding allergy information. We have nuts, eggs, and milk allergies.***

• Please look at all of your ingredients. Look to see if it says it may contain nuts, peanut oil, milk, or eggs.
• If none of your child's ingredients have that phrase (or your child didn't use nuts, peanut oil, milk, or eggs), please send a note saying that the food is allergy-free.
• If any ingredient states that (or your child actually use nuts, peanut oil, milk, or eggs), please send a note saying that the food item has an allergy.

We are presenting on May 24 to our class and any family members who are able to attend.

We will have two presentation times. Your child is only presenting once. If you are able to attend on May 24, please pick one time and sign up on the wiki link below. I will be sure to let your child present during the time you will be here. If you cannot attend, it is okay, your child will still present, and fill in any slots.

Please think carefully of when you are most likely able to attend. You don't have to sign up right away, I won't make the schedule of children presenting until a day or two before May 24. I just wanted to allow you enough time to take off work, if you wanted and if your schedule was not flexible.

Parent Appreciation Breakfast

You are all cordially invited to the Parent Appreciation Breakfast next Friday morning (May 18) in the playroom. There will not be a Family Gathering. I hope you can make it!

Third Grade Class Book & May Scholastic

This year, we are making a class book. Each student will have their own page to describe their third grade year and draw a picture. The books I have done in the past have come out very well, however, this is completely optional. They will not be shipped until this summer, so your child will ot receive it until next school year or come in the summer to pick it up.


There is an envelope going home with your child that describes how to purchase one, if you are interested. Please send in a check (or use exact change), preferrably a check. (FYI: In my opinion, it is not worth the 'deluxe backing'. In the previous years it is just a colorful backing. The strength is the same.) This is not a fundraiser of any kind. The money goes straight to the book company.

Another Scholastic order is available online due Friday, May 18. Ordering information is: http://mrsprevette.blogspot.com/p/scholastic-ordering-information.html
