We are beginning the Memory Book that we complete at the end of the year.  This activity is always a fun one for the kids once it is finished.  I have an assignment for all parents, but will email that to you soon.

Students have been writing this throughout the year and we will be doing the typing on three days this month.

The schedule is a follows:
Monday (4/29) - Write about "My Life as a Fifth Grader" for Memory Book
Tuesday Hour 4 & 5 (4/30) -  Writing, "25 Years From Now"
Wednesday Hour 2 & 3 - "The Person I Most Admire"
Thursday Hour 2 & 3 - "The Person I Most Admire"

We do need parent help to laminate the cover (would like to have 3-4 to help laminate and cut) on May 8 or 9,  and we also need help to do the binding on May 15.  Please let me know if this is a possibility for you.
