Naaktgeboren's Class Blog

Greetings Families, The time for your child to present his or her Europe Project is coming up soon. I've fielded a couple of questions regarding what the board should look like so I wanted to post some of the images that I shared by email a couple weeks back. The point of the trifold board is to neatly display what your child has learned about his or her country in respect to the categories researched. Here are the examples: ( Click on the images to enlarge them. ) Best, Michael Naaktgeboren

The remainder of the quarter: History : Students will study Arizona. They will look at rivers and waterways, regions, and learn about the process Arizona went through to become a state. Students will also study about the 5 C’s, and learn about the Spanish influence in our state. The Europe Project is due on December 14th. Science : Students will spend the rest of the quarter reviewing prior units, and learning about topics that are covered on the AIMS test. Language Arts : In literature, students will discuss whether or not they feel Robin Hood is a hero. This is the precursor to a larger discussion at the end of the book. The quarter finishes with a reading of Pollyanna. In grammar/writing, students will write a paper on whether Robin Hood is a hero. In Spalding there are more words and more markings. Math : Students will continue working on fractions. The quarter ends with review of the topics covered to date.

Greetings, To give students and families more time to work on the Europe projects, there is no homework this weekend. There will also be no homework Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. However, during today's science lab, a few students were not able to complete their lab sheets. Those students will need to take a little bit of time to complete that paper. They already did the labs and only need to fill in the information. Best, Michael Naaktgeboren
