Congratulations to Dom, Sarah, Lauren, and Clarine! Dom and Sarah will represent our team in the school-wide Geography Bee sponsored by National Geographic on January 17th, and Lauren and Clarine will represent our team in the Spelling Bee Finals in February. We are proud of them!
Our discussion in Language Arts today centered around natural disasters. Our story, Storm-a-Dust, takes place on a farm where a family is battling a drought. To prepare, we charted various disasters that occur and the effects of those disasters. We also learned about new vocabulary that will be seen in this story. Some words are interesting, and we're curious about how they'll be used, such as spindly and peculiar. Tomorrow we will read Storm-a-Dust and discuss ways that the setting influenced the characters' moods and actions. Although, we will not begin our new novel, The Wednesday Wars, until next week, we'll be having McD's Cafe this Friday. Brief roles for Storm-a-Dust will be prepared tomorrow. In Social Studies, we continued to explore and learn about the cultures in Mexico. Main ideas of the lesson were supported with details on our study guides. When Social Studies resumes on Friday, we'll receive our project for the nine weeks.Homework:Reading - Cafe on Friday.
