Week of September 19–23

Week of September 19–23

The students finished presenting their skits and shared their suggestions with the class on ways to make stronger the systems that society requires in order to best function and meet its members’ needs. They also started writing a class letter to city planners with their suggestions, which we will be revising and sending out next week. The students also decided that we would find out more about and participate in the current planning that is going on in our local community.

We have begun working on math skills. We are also continuing to work on our stories and learn new vocabulary words.

The class has officially finalized and ratified our class constitution.

Supplies:

Students need to bring in and have in class each day several composition books or spirals and a free reading book, as well as a few pens and pencils.

Assignments:

Students were assigned to research their topics and bring in a newspaper or magazine article. Some students still need to do this.

Students also need to figure out what supplies their family would need for 72 hours in an emergency, and make a checklist of whether or not they have those supplies.

Announcements:

Back to School Night is Thursday from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. We hope to see you there!

Have a good week!
