Now that we've gone on our field trip, it is time to buckle down and finish our project. The students have taken on a lot. This is their first true research project and we're reaching the final stretch. Most students have finish, or almost finished, their note taking. That is the hardest part! This week we will turn those notes into a Slide Show or a written project. Each student will have a choice or technology or traditional for their presentation.
A few parents have reached out to ask what they can do to support their student. Helping your student spell check, format, and practice presenting is the most helpful! I do my best, but there are twenty-two students so I am unable to spell-check every slide. Please don't rewrite your students project. This is their first research project, and students learn best by doing. With that being said, writing and reading isn't the only way a student can learn! Optional "crank it up" projects can earn "bonus" points back. The only requirement is they are on the topic of their specific tribe. They can be a diorama, a poster, a game, a song or poem, or maybe a traditional food. If your family chose to partake in the optional "crank it up" project, you can start sending those projects in any time after Wednesday. Presentations will be the week before Thanksgiving on Monday or Tuesday. Students who need extra time will be allowed to present later in the week - everyone works at a different pace. Then, on Wednesday second grade and third grade classes will be stopping by to see their projects. They are working so hard! I'm so proud of them! Up Coming Dates: 🖥️ Monday, November 22 - Crank it Up Projects are Due, presentations start 🦃 Wednesday, November 24 - Early dismissal, Thanksgiving Break! A Look Ahead: 📊 In math, we'll finish up data with some pictographs and start talking about multiplication strategies 🦅 In reading, we'll be talking about how animals survive - especially when they are endangered ✏️ In social studies, we'll be starting the last part of our project: creating the slides or book
