Week of September 2 - 5
| Language Arts (Blocks 1 and 2): --Students analyzed a childhood narrative for the 9 elements of writing. These were due on Tuesday, evaluated and returned on Friday. --I taught students about various pre-writing techniques. --Students worked on rough drafts of their own childhood narratives. These will be due next week. Mysteries of History: --This was our first week of this semester-long social science class. --Students examined and analyzed "mystery" objects. --Students brought in 5 personal objects from home, and other students analyzed these objects. We tried to guess who brought which objects. --I taught 14 Culture Universals. Students were assigned one Culture Universal and found examples of it on the internet. I showed all of these in class. --Students began work on creating a culture. This simulation will continue next week. Co-op: --Fall Trip forms are due by Sept. 18. --I will assign conference times based on the sheet your child brought back to me.
