Dear Parents,
    For the month of May, your child is required to write a report on a particular state. The guidelines for this report are being sent home as well . All projects are due by Thursday, May 27,2010. In addition to the written report, your child will also be required to create a drawing of the shape of the state and give a 2-3 minute oral presentation informing the class about the state. Note cards may be used during the presentation, but please help your child learn the information on the cards. They have already chosen the state your child needs to report on. Let your child use his or her creativity when completing this project.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support,
Ms. Vullo
