I hope everyone was able to dig out from the storm. This week we have been continuing to work on "The Things They Carried" project. Students are taking the main character from the narrative they have been writing in Mr. Badeau's class and developing it through this project. The project is due on Wednesday, Dec. 17. Deadlines for this week are:
Tuesday, 12/9 - Completed MAP (make sure they review requirements - #2 on assignment sheet)
Thursday, 12/11 - Recipe- by the end of class this should be in project booklet
Friday, 12/12 - Traditions/Portrait/Pictures - by end of class these need to be completed in project booklet.
Report cards are/have been sent home. There was not enough room in the Humanities comment section for both Mr. Badeau and mine. Below is a "general" comment that pertains to Trimester 1 in Humanities-Social Studies. Let me know if you have any questions.
COMMENTS:
In Humanities-Social Studies, this
trimester we began with a short unit on Geography skills. Students
focused on location, hemispheres, maps, map types, and seasons
related to latitude. The geography skills will be used throughout
the year as we explore various aspects of the world through the
remaining units of study. We then moved into a unit on immigration,
“From Many, One”. Within this unit students gained background
knowledge with a look at historical migration including theories
around Native American origins, as well as a look at different
European groups in early colonial time. We then moved to more modern
immigration and the various reasons why people move, contributions of
different immigrant groups, and the various issues faced as new
arrivals.
Have a good week.
Mr. Burton
