Hello Parents,
This is a short week, but it is filled with exciting activities.
Our field trip to the Natural History Museum is this Wednesday. We are going to become forensic anthropologists and learn how to identify key characteristics from human bones such as age, any diseases and maybe cause of death. The students will be in small groups of four with an adult facilitator as they explore the display area after they experience the lab portion of the trip.
On Thursday, award-winning author Sharon Creech will visit our classroom and talk about her book Walk Two Moons which we are currently reading. We hope to also have the students participate in a Readers Theater.
Today we had our American Indian Celebration. The students were wowed by the dances and stories, and the presentation ties in with our projects on Native Americans. The students are working in groups or partnerships to show what they learn about different tribes in various regions of the country. The projects have written, oral and construction components. Please check with your students to see the rubric so you know what is expected.
Friday is a holiday, so I hope you all enjoy a long weekend that is relaxing and fun!
