February 21-22

On Thursday and Friday I had to leave early to pick up my sick child so I didn't get to the updates.  

Tybee Update

--The last day for parent chaperones to pay their $104 fee is tomorrow (Monday, February 25th).  Since we have an overabundance of chaperones we will not be accepting money after Monday.

Breman Museum field trip

--I have two parent chaperones so far and one or two more would be welcome.   Please text, call, or email me if you can come.  The adult entry fee is $8 and parents can opt to drive there if that works best.

--We could really use a snack donation for after the field trip.  We won't be getting back until 1:30pm and I know students will be really hungry since our lunch time is so early.  Ideally the snack should be easily portable and quick to eat.

--Lastly, I expect students to be respectful and to be on their better-than-best behavior since it is a Holocaust museum with serious content.  I'll be reviewing my behavior expectations with students and please also have a talk with them at home before Thursday about how they should behave in such a place.

ELA - We continued to read Messenger and it's amazing how much easier it is for students to identify literary elements (plot, character, setting, theme, etc...).  Additionally, students have been making deeper inferences and more significant connections.  On Friday students generated a list of things/situations that appear in all three books and they used one of this terms UOI concept lenses, Connection, to write a reflection.  

Math - Students continued learning about how to compare and classify 2-D shapes with Ms. Karably on Thursday.  Additionally, students practiced their skills by doing work from their textbooks.

Science - Ms. Karably did an erosion/weathering activity on Friday.  

Social Studies - Students watched the BrainPop videos on earthquakes and volcanoes and completed the associated worksheets.
