=**Jenny's Advising November-February Project Page**=

Please save/bookmark this page for help on this term's take home assignments. Students have (are bringing/forgot in their mailbox) their choice project pages. You can print extras from this wiki page.

Each student has a recipe and recipe interview assignment. If you want to print more recipe/interview pages, these are the first 2 pdf files listed on the wiki. Students then selected a project group as listed below.

Students will work on a portion of these projects during the December 2-15th advising classes. Please help your child get started with this activity, especially the nightly moon watching and/or mystery book reading over break. For the Animal Alliteration group, work with your child to create a short story about animals using the letter "A" this week.

All students should be prepared to reflect back to me on their progress when we meet on Monday, December 1st. They may ask for suggested plan changes (due dates, etc) at that time.

Each student will contribute to our class recipe cookbook project:
__**Recipe Cookbook**__ Students have a print copy of the recipe card and interview sheet. All students are collecting recipes and recipe history on the following organizer pages: Recipe Sheet: Recipe Interview Sheet:

**//Students will also choose one (1) of the following projects in addition to the recipe book://**
My Lunar Journal:
 * __Lunar Journal__**

Record nightly observations of the moon and sky. Detail at least 6 sessions in your observation journal with a question, a drawing, and a reflection. You will discuss your observations in class and come up with a 3-D model to demonstrate the phases of the moon. This is a way to think about and connect your observations with what you know (and/or want to learn) about natural cycles (the tides, the seasons, planting and harvest...)

__**Mystery Clue Book**__ My Clue Casebook:

Read a 100+ page mystery book and record your sleuthing in the casebook. Then, think about and write a plan for your own mystery chapter book. There will be time for writing and revising in class.

__**Animal A to Z Book**__ Animal Story Planner Pages:

Search for creative nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs to use in a short (3-5 sentences) story about your weekly animal. Ask parents and friends for suggestions! Then, draft and edit your story. Finally, publish your story with an illustration.
