Today, we explored our areas of interest to officially begin Exhibition! (see pictures below). Students wrote their names on a piece of paper, and then put them in 1 envelope in an area they feel most passionate about, & most excited about working with. They carefully considered our Exhibition unit central idea:
As people act through their passions and interests, they make discoveries, communicate, and create societies.
Then, they chose from the following categories:
Social Science (humanitarian work, history, politics)
Performing Arts (music, vocal, theater, poetry/literature)
Aesthetics (Architecture, art, clothing, interior/landscape design)
Medical Science/Health
Environmental Science (climate, forests, oceans, etc.)
I'm so excited to see where exhibition takes us this year! Parents, please stand by for information packets next week!!
Also, remember that as we near the end of Term 3, you are allowed to post your book talks as a comment on the blog instead of presenting it in class (although you still need to show me the book in class). Please remember in your post:
1) YOUR name (first name only)
2) Book title
3) Book genre & WHY
4) Book talk (what you would say in class)
Homework:
1) Turn in signed reading logs & read 20 minutes!
2) "What If" Worksheet #3: Please write a short paragraph (see graphic organizer) on ONE challenge of westward expansion. You should write as if you are experiencing it! :)
3) Math (9-9): p. 237 all, p. 238 odds. Redo low-scoring quizzes, keeping in mind that the last day of the term is FRIDAY, March 22nd!
4) Missing work: sign reports and turn in missing work tomorrow!
