What We Are Learning
We are finishing up our Restaurant Menu and planning a beach vacation for our teachers. The students will be setting the itinerary, choosing transportation, hotels, restaurants and the costs associated with planning a detailed vacation.
Math:
The students are making game boards using all of the topics they have learned this year. Next week they will be presenting their Genius Hour projects. They got to choose any topic they wanted to research and create a project on. You can watch this video to see what it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMFQUtHsWhc
Integrated:
We completed our Pioneer simulation game and have begun a unit on nutrition. The students are learning how to read food labels and understanding the ingredients in the foods we purchase at the grocery store.
