Social Studies: We are doing a very cool presentation project on colonial life!  It is a way to use our creative sides to show our learning and understanding of this time period.  I think most students chose to bring it home tonight so you can check it out in red folders if you'd like. 👍

Some were working on transferring info from the colonial regions circles from Chap. 5 onto the first slide for the packet (this was are goal/target for the day and I was so proud students wanted to meet it, even if it meant finishing at home!) 👏

Projects are due March 1. Students will complete the packet on Thursday and Friday we will start presentations in Google.  They are allowed to do extra research to add it and work on the presentations outside of class (whether home or a local library), however, not required.


Reading: finish read day 8

Spelling: practice words (we discussed the "look say cover write check" option)
Complete Wordly Wise page 16 and 17.  These should not take longer than 10-15 min.
