Once you have completed a particular book you may not repeat it in future months. You will be submitting a book project fore the months of September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, and May for a total of nine projects.2. If you have any questions on how to complete any of the book projects, please do not hesitate to ask me for assistance.
3. Be creative with the materials you will use such as: markers, paints, construction paper, craft supplies, etc.
4. You can use your own drawings, clip art, or internet pictures. Any hand-drawn illustrations should always be completed in color.

Free Choice Book Project and Student Selection Forms
Parents,
Please look in the back of your child's behavior folder to find their Free Choice Book Project Forms. All of my students should have already begun working on these projects at home. Last Friday, the Student Selection Forms were due and some of them had not yet been completed as of this afternoon (when I filled out their behavior charts for today.)
Please make sure that your child is working on this project because it is worth thirty percent of their grade.
Also, some of my students' behavior charts have not been signed. It is very important that you are all aware of your child's behavior at school. Sometimes, it could be the reason for a student having a low grade on an assignment / activity on a particular day.
Thank you parents again for taking the time that you do to assist your child with their academic work. I really appreciate whatever you do for them! Because anything that helps them, helps me. And everything that helps me, helps them. Keep in mind, we are all on the same team trying to reach the same goal!! And that would be, success for your child, my student!!!
Thanks again,
