I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
To feel more comfortable with the Geography Bee (and to learn more) students will become experts on a topic then teach classmates. While working in pairs, students are creating Powerpoint presentations about a facet of United States Geography. The United States topics are: highest and lowest points, size of states, original ownership (Britain, Spain, Russia), Civil War loyalties, major bodies of water and geographic regions. I'll post examples of the presentations tomorrow. Ask your child which topic she/he has.
Students spent a little time watching the PBS Lewis and Clark documentary, and we finished our third read aloud, Small Steps. Tomorrow, we'll begin Streams to the River, River to the Sea by Scott O'Dell which is a story of Sacagawea.
Homework for tonight is to:
1. Read for 30 minutes (students can re-read the chapter they're responsible for reading group or choose a just right book). No reading log tonight.
2. fourth math
fifth math
3. Spelling
Have a good night!
