Challenge Questions!

Hello Class,
I did a quick search about bread yeast after the busses left and I got so excited that I had to post. Here is a link that gives some information and an experiment! I hope that someone tries it out and posts their results:
Yeast experiment
Remember that I also asked you to research some facts about why we use pm and am when telling time. Happy hunting,

Thailand

Hello Travelers!
I think that you are quite fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn about another country and its customs. You have learned about this country in a variety of different ways. I have enjoyed seeing some of the activities you have done in your Writer's Notebooks, but I would love to learn more! Please think and reflect about your time with Senorita Memoe, then write a post that tells others what you have enjoyed the most. Please give a specific example of what you did or how you learned that explains why you feel that way. As always, I encourage you to respond to what others post. Happy writing,
Mr. Willis

Campaign Ads

Hello Families,


As part of our election study, student groups worked together to create posters and ads in the spirit of the election campaign. Table groups were assigned a topic from the conversations that we had when setting up our Classroom Constitution. They then had to create a poster that advertised their idea in a way that would make others want to vote for them. Some groups took it another step and recorded "commercials". Below are some links where you can click and listen. Post your comments and your reactions to our campaign activity.

Election Day!

Hi Class,

Today has already been very exciting, interesting and informative. Our trip to the Armory to see the actual ballot and to witness the privilege of voting in person was wonderful. I am proud of you for being so involved and interested. Our Kids Vote time was excellent too! I can't wait to see how the vote turns out for the organization we will raise money for. Here is your assignment:

1. Post a comment about your election day experiences. Share how you felt, what you saw, what you learned, or what you found interesting. Remember, no political opinions here!



2. Visit the Scholastic News page for all your election needs.



3. Visit election results for a very complete page on results. Don't forget to do your map!

4. Here is another great site geared towards children : PBS



Post how you spent time on these sites and how your election night went!



Mr. Willis
