State Reports

Hello Parents,
Happy Tuesday! This year students will be working on a state report project. Last week, the students chose their particular state of focus. They will be doing two parts to the project. The first, is the research portion. To follow, that information will be put into a creative float project. The report and instructions regarding the state floats are attached with this email. The students will get quite a bit of time to complete their projects. Please note that this is a large assignment. My recommendation is that your child completes a little bit at a time, in order to not get overwhelmed when the due date approaches. The actual due date of the project is April, 21, 2014. I will attach the state report documents to the blog under the 'Sci/SS' tab in case you need them. Also, students will be given selected work days to work on their projects in class, but the majority of the assignment will be done at home. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you so much and have a good night!

Research Portion:
1. State Seal
2. Writing Pages
3. Bibliography
Creative Portion:
1. Float
Please note: There will be no formal written paper that needs to be turned in with the assignment (i.e. research report).
