We've been busy as usual working on a variety of things. In social studies we are learning about the voyageurs and the fur trade in Canada. Our class will be writing the story of a voyageur's trip and then using that story to create a movie with Animoto. We are in the research phase and some great resources include the book I've attached and some links below.
In math we are still working on geometry and I encourage the class to do mathletics exercises and practice at home. Students should know the terms parallel, vertical, horizontal, perpendicular, diagonal, and intersecting, and also the names of any shape you throw at them.
In science we are wrapping up our electricity unit and in LA, we've made some awesome Word Ladders this week for vocabulary practice. We are doing a novel study and students are expected to write a response to each chapter, so they should be catching up at home on their google doc if they've fallen behind.
Many students are working on Duolingo to practice their French and even their German and Spanish. There is an iphone/ipad app available to make practicing languages even easier. Keep it up!
