- Students have been working hard on their Two Worlds Meet inquiry projects. This week we are starting to type up our notes and work on our final presentations. Many students have chosen to create a poster board presentation. Students will need to purchase these and bring them in to Lochside this week to start putting it together. It would be great to have these on Wednesday. You can purchase them at dollar stores, Staples, Walmart, etc. We are not quite ready for our inquiry museum this week - stay tuned and we will have our museum celebration after spring break!
- Two more FreshGrade posts are coming this week as we wrap up this term. A final check-in will also be posted by the end of the week. Please take some time to sit down with your child over the break and look over this term's posts and check-in together. Talk about successes from this term and stretches that we can grow in for the final term.
