This week we are working on www.storyboardthat.com, and the students are loving it. I would like to offer this as a book report option for the remainder of the year and have it available for other projects as well. The price of continuing to use the site past the 2 week free trial is $90 for one year. If anyone knows of a business that would be willing to sponsor this purchase for our class before I pound the pavement asking, let me know. I also considered everyone to bringing $1 to cover the cost. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance for your input. Below is an example of what can be created with the program. (Thanks also for voting yes on our last bond election! Funds from that election purchased our laptops. WE ARE LOVING THEM! It's great to have a such a supportive community. )

This week we will be begin a 2 week Sleepy Hollow unit. We will be reading a reader's theater version of Washington Irving's tale. Every student has been assigned a part. It does not need to be memorized but should be practiced for fluency. We will "perform" our play next Wed. Oct 31st, not for an audience but just for fun. (I will video each hour so we can be our own audience and not show anyone else.) There is a vocabulary list for this unit that can be found on Quizlet by following the link below or by practicing these flashcards.
We will be wrapping up our Baseball unit this week. Today and tomorrow we will be using our new laptops (thanks to our last bond election :)) to complete biographical research over various influential players. Tomorrow (Tues, Oct 16th) we will have an end of unit vocabulary quiz over the words below.
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES will be held Oct 15-16 from 3:45-6:30. You do not need an assigned time, just come see the teachers you would like to see when you can. If you would rather conference by email with me due to scheduling issues, that is fine! Just let me know via Remind message or send me an email @ [email protected]. THANKS! |
