**Two highlights from last week….we watched the inauguration with Gretchen's class and were the audience for the High School's presentation of "Tres Osos" or "The Three Bears."
Last Week
The main focus for the three day week was to finish up the consumerism unit. Each student created their own final product that summarized some aspect of the consumerism unit. Students created posters, comic strips, brochures and poems. They are so creative! We had a guest speaker from the Chamber of Commerce speak to us about how the Chamber works, and what it does for our community. We held our classroom Spelling Bee and our Champion was Tyler! He will compete against the finalists from the other classes for the school championship this coming week. On Friday we met our new Korean Exchange student named Beth. She will be with us for one month to experience American Schooling. Gretchen and Charlie are also hosting exchange students from Korea. The sister of one of our high school students teaches English in Korea and these are some of her students. They will be living with her while they attend school here. I am so excited for this opportunity!
Next Week
Students that would like to, will present their consumerism projects. We will also spend a great deal of time brainstorming and starting our sloppy copies for the Treasure Books. The Treasure Books will be a great opportunity to work through the writing process in preparation for the writing test. Towards the end of the week we will start our World Fair Unit that will be focusing on the geography and cultures of the world.
**If anyone still owes money for Outdoor School please turn that money in to the office by next week.
**Report cards will be sent out mid-week. They are slightly different from last year so please let me know if you have any questions.
