Almost done...

We are almost done with the first marking period.  I can't believe it's almost time for report cards.  We have been working hard in the Lego Robotics Lab.  STEAM Discovery Night was a success.  Thank you for all of you that were able to attend and a special thank you to Nicholas D. for teaching the participants about the lego robotics.  You did a fantastic job.  We were so proud of you.  I hope you were able to view the pictures on Class Dojo:).  For this week, we will be finishing up reading Shiloh.  The class is ready to move on from Native Americans, ecosystems, and place value.  Native American test will be on Thursday, September 24th.  Ecosystems test will be on Friday, September 25th.  Place Value test will be on Tuesday, September 29th.  We have only tapped the surface of what content we will discover this year.  My STEAM Elite students... I hope you have a great night's sleep.

Adaptations

I can't wait to get back to school so we can practice using mental math.  You never know when we will need to calculate the price of sneakers, a cute outfit and maybe a movie.  All with using the power of our minds.  The class enjoys reading Shiloh.  We almost cried at the end of Chapter 10.  They just want Shiloh to find a happy home.  We are cruising along in the land of food chains and food webs.  We will focus on how animals are able to protect themselves.  I love this part of the Ecosystem lesson:)  In Social Studies, we are continuing to learn about how the different Native Americans adapted to their environment.
