Important
I'll be sending home parent
conference schedules next week which will be held Nov. 18th - 20th. Feel free

New
In ELA, we will continue
writing a literary argument essay responding to Bud, Not Buddy. This
will require students pull evidence from the text to back up their arguments.
In social studies, each
student group is becoming experts on one lesson about the history of Africa.
Students will then be teaching each other.
In science we are still
focusing on weathering and erosion.
Updates and Information
Our class debated opposing
literary arguments, wrote reflective essays about our Headlands field trip,
made homemade sand from chunks of granite, and worked in small group collaboration
on social studies.
Come check out our display in the hallway of
photographs and anecdotes relating to our field trip! There are quite a few
special memories that were captured.
