Children are currently working with Google Drawing .We had an excellent presentation on Constellations. You may want to check it out at bit.ly/mvsstars . The children will create their own drawing of a constellation against a backdrop of the night sky. They are learning so many new ways to present their ideas. I am really proud of the progress they have made this year.
The Google Slides on Animals are looking wonderful. As soon as Mr. B. and I judge them, all will be able to enjoy a few of the wonderful projects on this page.
I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving. I certainly did.
Here's a few tips about the Animal Research Project I mentioned in class and during conferences.
Select an animal you are curious about. Read multiple sources such as books , online articles, etc. Watch a movie on the animal if you can find one on youtube. Write down interesting facts about your animal. Make sure you have information about its habitat, diet, predators, life span, and any other and unique interesting fact you can find.
Write all the info on an index card.
Be ready to learn how to create a Google Slideshow with these facts from Mr. B.
Happy Researching!

The Family Ancestry Project concluded successfully! Please check out some photos from the presentations. We started studying about Rocks last week, and enjoyed a great field trip to Crane Creek Regional Park. The children enjoyed a wonderful hike led by a docent, and had a great time exploring creeks and rocks. Photos will be posted.
I am busy preparing a plan to enter our class film on the Discovery theme in the Five Minute Film Festival in March of 2017.
Please advise your child to be focused and attentive in class so I can begin some interesting projects in class.

Our class is currently learning about the many ways parents, grandparents, and ancestors have made a difference in our lives. Here are some of the topics we have covered in this unit:
- We are exploring some of the unique traditions of families, both in our community and around the world.
- Every child has his or her own family history and traditions. We want to take a look at some of them.
- Learning about our family’s past will help your child see how their ancestors’ traditions, values, and practices have influenced their own lives.
This week and next week your child will need your help to work on a project for school. Here are some ways you can help your child:
- Your child will have a set of questions to ask as an interview. Please help them by answering the questions and writing your responses.
- They will be doing an oral presentation that should include heirloom/artifact, such as food, maps,toys/games, or clothes. Help your child practice for their presentation; they will need to show what they brought and explain why they brought it, (how does it relate to their family background?
- Work with your child to prepare a poster board. It will help their oral presentation!
I look forward to learning about your families!
