STATE PROJECT. Students are continuing to work on their state projects. Everyone should have completed the state map and the first four pages of the packet (Quick State Facts, Products, Industry, and Famous People). Friday, November 4 the next three pages are due (Tourist Attractions, Landmarks, and Big Cities). By Monday, November 14 a short written report, picture, and cover will be due. The short report should have four paragraphs:
Paragraph 1–Important Facts/History
Paragraph 2–Geography
Paragraph 3–Landmarks
Paragraph 4–Fun and Interesting Information
Students should also provide the sources for their information.
The students have been collecting information for the written report in library. At a later date students will be creating a presentation using the green screen in the Kennedy Makerspace! Ms. Labaire and I will be working with Lesley University for this exciting project.
A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP. Students are logging when they go to bed and when they wake up to calculate the total number of hours and minutes slept each night. They are also recording their observations about how they are feeling and why they think they are feeling that way. After a week of recording their data, students will make conclusions based on their sleep record and observations. The entire packet, including the comprehension questions, is due Wednesday, November 2.
