| Students respond to questions while watching the Lewis and Clark documentary. |
We have almost finished watching the PBS Lewis and Clark documentary. Between reading groups, PE and typing, we managed to fit it in today. Students completed four pages of note taking questions like these while watching the movie, and since the documentary is pretty specific, they’ve learned a lot from it. Students love getting the right answers and knowing what's important! Here are a few more pictures Charlotte took while watching the movie (scroll past the typing ones).
We're planning two culminating events to end our Lewis and Clark study. One is a field trip to Tilden Park on Wednesday, January 12th. Students will "become" part of the Corps of Discovery and complete a Scavenger Hunt. On Thursday, January 13th we will have a Lewis and Clark feast (we won't be eating dogs, horses, or roots, but we'll try to get "appropriately" close to what they ate). Deborah Lambe will e-mail a sign up sheet when we come up with the menu.
Thanks to everyone who baked for the bake sale. It was a huge success! Tomorrow we'll count the money and decide which gifts to buy.
Homework for tonight is to:
1. Read for thirty minutes
2. Spelling
***Students should bring their Secret Santa gifts tomorrow.
Have a good night!
