Thanks to everyone for being on time this morning! We had a great visit with Jen from the New York Historical Society. We looked at artifacts from the United States during the 1800's in order to gather information about the time and people, specifically issues of race and slavery. We analyzed the artifacts, sharing ideas and learning new facts in a rich discussion. We will continue building on this in our social studies curriculum. This weekend, students have a handout reflecting on today's work and also pushing them to consider researching other artifacts from the time period. Next week we will work in partnerships and small groups reading of historical texts which will allow us to deepen our understanding. The artifact handout is due Tuesday in observation of Julien's birthday wish for "no homework" this weekend!Reading is always expected, so be sure to add onto your log and fill up all the boxes with smart thinking and theories.
Camp is next week! We are all very excited. Be sure to look over the packing list this weekend. If your Dr. has filled out the medication release please make sure your child's name is on the bottle and place all medicine in a ziplock baggie with your child's name on that, as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. We will be having a few conversations next week about expectations for the trip.
Have a wonderful weekend! See you Monday...xo Lauren
