Social Studies
We are continuing our Native American Regions & Culture project this week. Each student will be responsible for researching and synthesizing information about the tribes that lived in their region. They will then present to the class. Due date: Friday, Oct. 16th
Tech Buddies
This year we will be working with Mrs. Perretta's class. We will meet about once a month to help them with their iPads. This week we taught them how to use the voice recording app so they can work on their reading fluency.
Social Curriculum
This week Dr. Adria came in for her first Brave Talk lesson. The students are learning how to be assertive without being aggressive. Dr. Adria spoke with them about how to use their eyes, voice, and facial expressions to get across the message that they are trying to express.
Discovery Labs
In STREAM the students started their World Hunger projects. They are doing much of their research in the computer lab with Mrs. Caron. Please ask them about their research!
World Hunger Project Presentation
Hannah, Zoey, Riley, and Charlotte won national recognition for their World Hunger Project last year. They were asked to present at a San Diego STEM fundraiser at the USS Midway. Our class was lucky enough to have them come in and show us their presentation!
