Disappointment

Today, we faced some disappointment when our field trip to Panda Path did not take place. Disappointing events can be hard and emotional. In writing workshop today, we wrote about some other times we have been let down and how we coped with it. Please think back to writing workshop. What is one time in the past that you have been disappointed? How did you fix the problem? Did someone help you make a plan to make things better? 

Reading Share

We love to read! We have been reading nonfiction and fiction in class. Please write about what book or books you have recently finished (in school or at home). Then, write about what you are reading now and what you plan to read next. We should always be thinking about what we want to read next so that we are always reading! Reading each others' responses may give YOU an idea about what to read next!

Wonder Wednesday

Today we started Wonder Wednesday! We learned that there are great web sites for SAFE searches of information. We should not just "google it". What do you wonder about? Did you find something about your wonder on Wonderopolis? Explore Wonderopolis and write about what you found! http://wonderopolis.org/ You can keep your wonders about creepy creatures for Halloween like we did in class or, focus on a new wonder. YOUR CHOICE!

Native American Learning

Today we watched the movie American Heritage: Native Americans. The movie is posted below if you would like to watch any part again. Please try to share at least three sentences of new learning. What region are you most interested in studying?

Native Americans - What do we know? What do we wonder?

This week, we have worked with Upper School students to begin wondering and learning about the Native Americans. Please write at least one sentence explaining a new fact you learned. Also, write two sentences telling what you wonder about Native American life. What do you want to know about how tribes lived?
