Weekend Update

Tybee Update

--Students from my homeroom are coming home with a letter for parents; please make sure you read it and contact me if you have any questions. My homeroom had lunch in the classroom today so I could address their questions.

--If your child has medication, please send it with them on Tuesday morning so I can store it for the trip.

--Check this document when packing -- What to Bring & what NOT to bring to Tybee

ELA Update
Students began their summative opinion papers this week.  They began by exploring the 4-7 grade social studies standards.  Students noticed how there was a disparity with the number of women and people of color represented.  

Students then did a book browse to identify women and people of color whom they thought would be a good addition to the standards.  Today they began their research and started taking notes.  If parents want to look at the guidelines, I've attached a copy of the packet in the right column.

Genius Hour
Students watched a video about feminism and a video about Jane Goodall.  They practiced the circle map and 5W's note-taking strategies.

 Breman Field Trip

**The trip was informative and the students were very well behaved.**

Nancy sez... Have a great weekend and Monday OFF!
