September Reading Challenge: Read Anywhere and Everywhere! Students are challenged to take a creative picture of them reading somewhere a little out of the ordinary. In a tree, hanging upside down...the sky’s the limit! All participants will receive a prize, and the most creative picture will get to choose a book to be purchased for the classroom. Pictures can be emailed to kraushaar.katie@wgcloud.org.

Choice book #1 starts on Tuesday, September 3rd! Students should bring a choice book with them to ELA class. We visited the library on Thursday, so students had an opportunity to check out from there & Ms. K’s classroom library. Books from home are also fine.

This week, we started our Space Unit. On Thursday, students were introduced to and started on the Space Object Research and Presentation Project. They should be able to complete the research and presentation in class if they are using their time wisely. The research should be done by the end of class on Tuesday (this is all done through Google Classroom). They will present their object to the class on Friday.
Social Studies: Mr. Cahn
We wrapped up our short Foundations Unit this week and students took a one-question summative assessment. Our overarching question was: “How do we learn things about the past?”
After the holiday weekend, we will begin our first of six larger units--Geography.
