I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got to spend some valuable time with family and friends. It's back to business on Monday at Garrison Mill.
Reminder - Immigration Day on Tuesday. Students should come dressed, but can bring a change of clothes for after the simulation. Please send food items in that morning with the students. Any paper products or water can be sent in on Monday. Family trees are due Monday and students should be ready to recite their poems on Tuesday. Many students have already completed their poem recitation.
Social Studies - students will be choosing their unit assessment for industrialization/immigration on Monday. We will be working in the computer lab this week for those students that choose the performance task. Any student that chooses the test will have review sessions this week.
Reading and ELA - we will begin the book "Out of the Dust" as a group this week. Students will also be working on informational writing.
Please check both Mrs. Longyear's and Mrs. Hazlett's blog for science and math information.
The quilt is now pieced. Hopefully I will get the backing attached tomorrow so student contributors can begin to put a "tie" in the quilt near their square. I would like to thank all those that contributed a fabric square. I know that the neo-natal unit at Northside Hospital is very excited about this quilt. I will take a picture and place it on the blog when it is complete.
