LEAP Weekly Update
What's going on in LEAP...10/19 - 10/23
Hello Parents!
Next week, we will continue our novel study of Ender's Game - we are finishing up the reading and will begin our culminating project. There will be a test over the novel on 10/27 and projects will be due on 10/28. It will be a busy week as we wrap up the novel!
We will also hear the Storyteller in the library on Tuesday. Friday will be a school-wide anti-bullying day with an early release at 1:00 for the end of the 9 week term.
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
