In
ELA, students will begin writing a narrative of their own adversity - they will
each choose between writing a monologue or concrete poem.
In
science, we will be looking at metamorphic rock.
In
social studies, each expert groups will present on their assigned civilizations
of Mesoamerica.
Updates and Info
Students
compared and contrasted different genres expressing similar themes including
concrete poetry, songs, letters, and news articles. We completed Prezi social
studies project and began practicing our presentation skills. In science we
learned about types of mountain formations. Drumming on Friday afternoons has
been great!
The
trimester ends the 26th and I will be collecting service learning forms on
February 19th. Please check in with your student about how he or she plans to
fulfill this requirement.
The
visit from Downieville Highschool was very informative. It's been great to
watch students engage in discussion regarding their future academic plans.
