Interest Fair:
Saturday, Feb. 23rd is the district wide Interest Fair. We are
requiring each 5th grader to do a project of their choice in
any of the core areas. We will provide 1 display board per
student. The student will then receive an extra credit grade
in whatever subject area they did the project. They may choose
to do more than one. Planning will begin at school, but the
majority of the work will be done at home. Ideas could be:
researching an author and summarizing some of their books,
doing a science investigation, creating a math game,
researching a historical figure or event, the possibilities
are endless. Students are able to do another project of their
choice also. If your child would like to do another project
they will need to order a display board. There will be a note
from Mr. Cooper soon that you will need to fill out and send
back. You do not have to fill this form out if your child is
only doing one assigned project.

New
Student Teacher
Hi! Your child may have already mentioned having a new face in
the classroom, so allow me to introduce myself! My name is
Kylie Avery and I am a Spring Arbor University student. I have
the privilege of spending 10 weeks student teaching with Mrs.
Huntzinger and your 5th grader! I am from Jackson and love
spending time with my large family and my friends. Some of my
interests include sports, reading, and traveling. My favorite
traveling experiences have been spending three weeks in
Zambia, Africa, serving the homeless in New York City, and
gutting houses this past December in the New Orleans area. I
love serving people and I view teaching as one of the greatest
opportunities to serve children. I look forward to getting to
know your child, and I would love to meet you as well. Please
feel free to e-mail me at avery@westernschools.org. I am very
excited for the weeks to come! |
