Tuesday
Book Cover Competition: Students will be in charge of redesigning a book cover of their choice. They can begin this project today and continue to work on it throughout the week. In middle school, Literacy teacher will conduct the project. Once students are complete, teachers can pick their three top picks and send them to Miss Sivitilli where she will draw for a winner in each level (elementary, middle, and high). Students can choose to colour or keep it as a black and white drawing (literacy teachers can take the lead on this and inform students of their expectations).
