Action Cycle

On Friday, many students took action and came to Social Studies class "in character" in order to review for our Westward Expansion Quiz.  The students played a quick game of "Who Am I?" based on the information that we read over the past two weeks. Here is a snapshot of one of our creative students....Lizzie, acting as Sacagawea's dog, Seaman. I look forward to doing this again in the future. I commend all of the students who dressed up, and got up in front of the class! Way to go!

What's going on in our classroom?

We are busy kicking off term five! Where has the time gone? This term we are focusing on measurement, the water cycle, westward expansion, and many language usage concepts! If you have a computer at home, please encourage your children to get on Compass Learning as much as possible.  The students have shown great success with this resource! You can find more info here: www.thelearningodyssey.com

Today, the students enjoyed writer's workshop as we followed the informational prompt: Think about one thing you know how to do well. Write a report to your class describing what you do well & how you learned about it.

Economics

The students had a blast learning about different aspects of Economics. Our Georgia State intern led an interactive lesson where the students got to put their skills to the test. We learned that specialization allows a person to become skilled and efficient at a specific task. Below are some photos from our assembly line...How do you like your burger?
