Well kiddos, we're on the downward slope to the end of the year (that's right, just 2 months and 13 days until Summer break)!
This week in core, we are finishing our Canada PowerPoint presentations. These are due on Tuesday, March 31st! Presentations will begin on March 31st. Maps are also due on March 31st.
On Wednesday, April 1st we'll begin our study of Latin America with a mapping activity.
On Friday, book boxes/book bags are due! Presentations will be 3-5 minutes long and all objects must be school appropriate.
Hope that you had a fabulous spring break. Have a grand week! Aztec, Inca and Maya are coming our way soon, and I can't wait!

This week: say goodbye to Trimester #2!
Wow-ee-wow-wow! Can you believe that 2nd trimester is almost over! That means we have only 13 weeks of school remaining (counting this week of course)! But wait! We have so many things left to teach each other before we bid adieu on June 13th.
For our last week of the trimester, we will focus on our Canada projects. This week will be maps, and research with next week focused on putting it all together in one neat convenient computer presentation package.
In addition to our Canada presentations, we'll be writing trimester 2 reflections, having grammar day activities on Wednesday and of course a couple more Canada map quizzes!
Tuesday, March 10th is the last day for late work, missing work, make-up work and extra credit so get those papers in in in!!
No school on Friday!! :)
Have a great week!
Remember! Only 8 days of class until SPRING BREAK (not counting today of course, because the school day is over already)!

This week in Core we are discovering the awesome world of the Vikings!

Hey, that rhymes!
In LA land, we've been booted from the computer lab once again due to testing which means that legend final drafts are being either hand written in class or typed at home. If you type the legend at home you must bring it with you to class on Friday when it is due (printer and computer problems are not excuses for extra days). On Friday we will share our legends and turn them in along with legend book jackets.
Have a great week!

This week in Core: Feb 9 - Feb 13th
In LA we continue our legend editing and will begin our Legend Book Jacket (due Friday). We will sail to the library next week to type legends and then end next week with a campfire activity where we will share our legends with the class.
In SS we are heading to our neighbor to the North: CANADA. We begin the week with some intro questions and then begin our mapping assignment (due Friday). On Friday (the day before Valentine's Day and Oregon's 150 birthday) we will write valentines to our lovely state.
Have a great week,
I'm still trying to kick this nasty cold, I apologize for the late post.
