New!
Electives begin this week!
In ELA, students will finish their own Tall Tale and publish to the blog.
Social Studies this year is focused on United States history. We will begin by looking at the Native populations here and the subsequent contact with European colonizers.
This year we are doing life science and will begin by looking at the criteria for life and how it is organized.
Information and Updates
Students read Tall Tales, sequenced important events in U.S. history, and began math. They developed an impressive list of interview questions and practiced their first interview on Friday. We also had our first music class which was a success.
More details regarding the overnight field trip will be forthcoming. We will be visiting Kentucky Mine on our way up, and I will need 1-2 parent chaperones to accompany us and drive.
If you can donate food for our camping trip, September 15-16, please let me know. Donations of cereal, bagels, cream cheese, bread, peanut butter, jelly, fruit, pre-cut veggies, snack bars, or trail mix would be greatly appreciated. If you know you are able to bring these, you can send them now or let me know that you can get items before the trip - just send a note with your student.
