I went ahead and posted next week's blog early so you can see what to expect for next week.
For the Boxcar Children Project: Pick one of the projects from the comprehension guide pages 50-60, Complete the project and turn it in on Tuesday 5/12/26. The student's will present their project to the class, so have them practice a couple times at home on Monday.
Movie: Next week I will be showing The Mouse and the Motorcycle on Thursday. It is available for rent for $.99 on Prime if you want to preview the movie. It is rated G, but please let me know if you do not want your child to see the movie and we'll make other arrangements for them.
