We have started our "Water Water Everywhere and Not Enough to Drink" Unit. Students will be creating Weekly Readers in Groups of 3. We have been learning ways to take "quick notes" and hold important information in our little brains when listening to nonfiction texts about water! My favorite part is our culminating project where students will drink water instead of a soft drink when eating out with families and bring that money to school to help build a well in an underdevleloped country. You can find more information at TheWaterProject.org. Our financial contributions will be added to other contributions and we will get feedback when the well is built with photos!!! The kids loved this last year!
Spelling homework is a change for January and we are now working on subtraction fast facts! Thanks for your help in making our learning meaningful and fun! Hoping to see some snow soon! :)
Colten has already started to encourage our entire family to choose water instead of soda!
