We ended the week with a fun field trip to 826 Seattle which recently changed its name to The Greater Seattle Bureau of Fearless Ideas. Our class was actually the first group to visit after they changed their name! Students worked collaboratively as a class to create their first own Choose Your Own Adventure story. We wrote the beginning of the adventure all together and then broke up into groups to create the different story pathways. Each student received a published copy of the class book - ask your student to share their copy of The Mysterious House at the End of the Cul-de-Sac!
We also held our second annual Thanksgiving Feast Potluck on Friday! Students enjoyed a delicious meal together and shared some of the things they are thankful for. Thank you to all of the families who made our feast possible!
Here are some of this week's other highlights...
Highlights:
-In math, we have switched over to small group and individual instruction. Students are really enjoying the personal lessons as we continue our work with fractions.
-We introduced the USA Studies Weekly newspapers we will be reading as part of our nonfiction reading unit. This week's theme was geography. Students read about different types of maps and analyzed map perspectives.
-In Toy Company (our economics unit), students worked on creating names and slogans for their companies. They also started designing their products. In the coming weeks, students will put together formal product proposals and begin producing their toys.
Reminders:
-There is no school the week of November 24th - November 28th due to parent teacher conferences!
-We had a Dental Education presentation on Friday - please return the form if you would like your child to receive a dental checkup (during school hours) and teeth brushed with fluoride!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
