The first components of the Author's Study are due on Friday March 16. Students will be handing in a letter to their author where they comment on ONE book that they have read. Also due, is a summary of the first book that they have read. They can visit http://www.kidsbookshelf.com or http://kidsread.com/authors/write 
 
The second summary is due on March 23! 
 
 
In addition, we are working on creating skits (writing dialogue) about the inventors the students researched in Science. My group has created a version of "Inventor Survivor". The skits will be performed on April 3. We need props. Donations of light colored flat sheets will be painted as backdrop scenery. We need backyard tiki torches, a large shoe box, and a steamer trunk.
