Our annual Fall Festival trip happens this week! Students chose between two trips-- hiking or biking. Our bikers are headed to Watoga State Park and our hikers are going to Sherando Lake. Both trips leave Tuesday morning and will be back for dismissal on Thursday. Please let us know if you have any questions!
In language arts, all three classes are working on packets to go with 3 Cups of Tea. They all seem to really be enjoying the book and we've already started our own collection of pennies for the Pennies for Peace program. Check out this YouTube clip:
Our next book is The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan. As usual, while it is not required, I encourage students to have a personal copy to read at home or take notes in, if they own the book (as opposed to a library book).
In social studies, we have been learning about Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent. We've been using Flocabulary's Hip Hop History of the World to help us remember the important contributions from Mesopotamia.
