Bring your parent to school day is on September 17. We have an assembly in honor of Constitution day from 7:50-8:15. I will have a reading review activity for parents and students in the morning and we will have counseling from 9:10-9:45. You are free to stay with your child through recess but they have asked all parents please leave by 9:55. I will take this time to answer homework questions and some questions about our first trimester project.
I sent home the first trimester project which is called a Book Buffet Project. Almost all the students in the classroom have had their books approved and I have tried to obtain most of the books. Students should read some of their books every night. Reading the book buffet book can count towards the nightly reading homework. The goal is to read the entire book by September 26 so the students can start on the book report and have that part of the project completed by October 23.
The packet that was sent home has a lot of detailed information. I have also attached the "Teacher Edition" of the packet here in case your child forgot to bring their packet home. Students will be completing a written project that is hidden inside a model of food. Student can choose any food they wish as long as it has not been chosen by someone else in the class already. Each part of the project must be included in its own section. The sections can be either written or typed. Students should take notes for each section as they read the book to make the process easier.
There are 5 Sections on the report-
Section 1 Introduction
Book Title
Author

Section 2 Setting
Include where and when the story takes place including all the different changes of setting in the story.
Section 3 Characters
Write about the various characters. Include the most prominent character traits and explain them with character traits and be sure to include an example from the story to demonstrate the character.
Section 4 Plot/Summary
The directions say the plot/summary should be exactly 8 sentences but it can be longer. The plot should include 1. Expsition 2 Conflict 3. Rising Action 4 Climax 5. Falling Action 6. Resolution and conclusion.
Section 5 Your Opinion of the Book
Did you like the book?
Who was your favorite character?
What was your favorite part?
What was the theme of the book?
Here are some examples of book buffet projects from the past for some ideas. Please do not copy previous projects exaclty. Thank you!
