Holiday Book Exchange

For our classroom Christmas Party, December 21st, the students will be having a book exchange. For the exchange, each student should bring a new wrapped book. The student that your child drew, along with a couple book ideas, was sent home before Thanksgiving Break. If you are interested in ordering this book through Scholastic book orders, today is the last day to do so. (online class code: 9M9VP) There is also a $10 limit on books. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Social Studies

Discover Simulation

In Social Studies, the students will become colonists who are trying to sail to the New World through a Discover Simulation. They have had to pack their ships and set sail to this New World with their groups. They will experience the types of trials and excitement that the colonists would have faced back then. After arriving to this New World, they will begin to establish a colony and once again face obstacles as they try to gain control, wealth, and power in this new land. 

S.C.A.M.P.E.R

Today we concluded our SCAMPER projects. This project was all about inventions and thinking 'outside the box' to solve problems. The students worked in groups to think of an invention that could help to fix an everyday problem that people face. The students then put together a power point presentation to share with the class. The students also wrote sales pitches to 'sell' or persuade their fellow classmates to buy their invention. We even watched clips of the TV show Shark Tank for inspiration and examples of sales pitch styles.
