Quarter 2/Week 1 & 2

  In Reading, we presented our Tuck Everlasting Projects, I was very impressed with what the students came up with in their bags.  We will finish our Tuck Everlasting test tomorrow.  We will then start our Daily 5 Cafe sessions. For those of you not familiar, this is a great program that is used throughout the whole school. It allows me to learn your child's reading levels better, they are able to work in small groups of the same reading level, and they also learn and work on independent learning while learning new reading and word work strategies.  

  In 5th Grade Writing, we finished our Julian Chapter, we will share them this week. In 4th Grade Writing, we worked on our third narrative, the Imagined Narrative.  We really focused on learning how to revise our work.  Those narratives will be printed out on Monday. 

  In Projects, we finished up our economics Project, "The Game of Life," and presented to the class how well the groups were able to manage their money.  We also moved around, and have new tribes. The students worked on new tribe posters, and presented those to the class. We will start our Native American project this week. This project will last for two weeks.
