Homework

Sorry I didn't get this posted till late in the week but this week's homework is .... (drumroll, please...) ANOTHER BOOK REPORT!! Please use the same form as last time, but write about a new book. Bring your book to class so that all the kids can have a look!

See you Saturday -

Book Report Homework

Let's do some reading and writing!! Choose an English book from the books you have at home (or make a quick visit to the library). Read the whole story and then do a book report based on the form I'm going to send your Mom and Dad. The book report form is for your first copy. When you have filled out all the parts of the book report, do a good copy of it in your notebook. Bring your notebook AND the book that you read to class next week.

Moms and Dads, let me know if you have any problems receiving/printing the book report forms.

Thanks!
Christie

Doug's Homework

Hi guys -
I just talked with Doug and he said not too many people were able to come to the Kidz Group today, but that he and the kids who were there came up with a great homework idea. So here it is:

For next week, please think of an invention that you are interested in, and find out about it on the internet, in an encyclopedia or other source. (For example, Richie said he's interested in finding out more about the iPod.) In your notebook, write these points:

When was it invented?
Who invented it?
What are 2 good points about this invention?
And write 1 or 2 other interesting things that you learned by reading about it.


Finally, you need to write down the sources you used at the end of your report. If you used a website, write down the website like this:

My Sources
http://www.factmonster.com/

This is a lot of writing for you to do, so make sure you don't leave the homework till the last minute!!! Ask Mom or Dad to help you research on the internet if you need some help. (By the way, Fact Monster is a good place to find information. If you want to check it out, click here). If you have any questions, e-mail me or give me a call! See you next Saturday ...

Happy New Year 2008!

Hi everyone and happy new year! Did you have a good winter holiday? Did you read any good books? I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at Kidz' Group, BUT Maya's kindergarten is having a mochi tsuki event on Saturday, so the Provenzanos can't make it to class that day. Doug will be there, though, ready to hear all about your holiday. He asked me to have you think of someone you would like to write a thank-you note to. If you have some special thank-you notepaper, you can bring that, too, if you like. Did you get a nice Christmas present from someone or some New Year's Money? Maybe someone took you and your family to a nice restaurant? This will be your chance to write a thank you note!!

Sophie, Maya and I will see you all on January 19th!

See you -
Christie
