Midweek Update

Students have continued to work on their Inventor research reports and several have started their group projects.  Today I reminded students to thoroughly answer the research questions within their report.  Several were content with writing things like "Thomas Edison was an important part of American history" without having the evidence to explain why.  Consequently, some students had to go back to the research phase to find more facts.  Today they also took the first part of this term's social studies assessment.  The second part will be given next Thursday.  

Next Friday we are going on an all day field trip to the High Museum and I need one chaperone for my homeroom.   Please contact me if you would like to go.
