Monthly Genre Assignments

-
Monthly Genre Assignments Students are assigned a monthly genre. This is to encourage students to read books, finish books, try different genres, present orally to a small group, and celebrate completing a book with a creative project. The project will be assigned at the beginning of the month, and due at the end of the same month (with the exception of November/December). A project will be assigned allowing time for students to do quality work. Projects are typically different with each genre. Below is our list of genres by month: OCTOBER = Fantasy or Science Fiction: FANTASY commonly uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary plot element, theme, or setting. Usually this genre takes place in imaginary worlds where magic and magical creatures are common. SCIENCE FICTION is fiction based on imagined future scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes, frequently portraying space or time travel and life on other planets. Project: Book Jacket due, October 30, 2020 - details presented during Google Meets

I know I k now! We are not at our school location, but I want you to know that breakfast cost is $1.50 f or students, or free for students who qualify for free/reduced lunches.  Lunch cost is $2.90 or free and milk is .50 cents .   Federal lunch applications are available online at www.pps.k12.or.us/departments/nutrition/index.htm (or may be picked up at the school office).  Remember: A new application must be completed every year. Money can be put in the student’s account and each day a meal is purchased, the student scans their card and the price is deducted from their account.   PPS Meal Distribution: Important Dates and Changes      We will resume meal distribution at 36 sites across the district on Wednesday, September 2.
