Projects:
Students are finishing their final drafts this week. The synthetic materials project has come along nicely, and the students have sharpened their research skills.
8th Reading:
Flocabulary today, along with Colonial America posters. Students are working in groups to create posters that reflect life in the New England, Middle or Souther Colonies.
7th Reading:
Flocabulary and Colonial America posters. There is no Flocabulary packet this week, but be sure students are reading a minimum of 20 minutes each night.
Writing:
We started our Root of the Week lessons. Each week, students will get a different root to look up and find the origin and definition. They then will find a minimum of 5 words that have that root. This week we are working with the root "graph." Students also started their informal outlines of their Colonial America final essay.
Auction this Thursday! We have a lot of items and are collecting more. I usually auction off about 7 or 8 items and then leave what's left for future auctions. Rent is due tomorrow, so we will see how the students handle that. Thus far, they have pocketed all of their earnings. :)
This is a wonderful group of kids and I am so happy to be their teacher this year.
