This week in Humanities . . .

June 12, 2012

Dear Families,

The class and I are all feeling excited, happy, and a little sad all at the same time this week.  I can't believe graduation is just a few days away.  Lisa and I have been sending out emails about POLs and Graduation, but just wanted to add a few things about this week.

Tomorrow -
America Through My Eyes is due.  The kids have been working on an art/poetry project that will be showcased in the classroom the rest of this week.  Tomorrow is the last day to turn it in and kids can take the posters home with them tonight to finish

POLs begin tomorrow through Thursday.  Please have your child practice tonight.  Having everything written and complete isn't enough, they'll do much better if they practice saying everything aloud a few times.  At the POL, you will receive your child's portfolio that has all their work from the entire school year.

Thursday-
POLs will continue.

Graduation is at the Gazebo at Old Poway Park.  Students need to arrive at 5:45 and the ceremony begins at 6PM.  Potluck will follow at the picnic table immediately after.  Students will receive their report cards at graduation.

Friday-
8th grade Beach Party.  See Lisa's email for more info.
