Exciting week for the Teddy Team

Monday, March 9th

This week will be an exciting week in Teddy Team classes this week! 

In English class students will work with guest artists on Stage Combat and the Language of Shakespeare.  Our trip to the Guthrie to see A Midsummer Night's Dream is next Tuesday.  Students also have received a permission slip for field trip to Park Square Theater to see a production of Romeo and Juliet on April 14th.  Cost $7.  Slips are due March 23rd to Ms. Oberg.

In Geography students are in the middle of their World Savvy projects.  This week we are focusing on the knowledge to action plan.  Next week we will start working on either presentation, website, documentary or performance to communicate their knowledge.  Ask your student about their topic!

In Algebra classes students are creating their own design or picture using only math!  Students can log in to their desmos.com account from any computer or tablet to show off their fantastic creations.

Looking ahead, Finals are on Wednesday, March 25th and Thursday, March 26th.  Spring break begins Friday, March 27th. 

Happy spring!
