We did a "Tech Bootcamp" where students practiced logging into their Google Accounts & Edmodo accounts, learned how to make a copy of a shared file, learned basic "tech respect" and began taking digital notes.
We also kicked off our History unit on the rising tensions in the colonies by simulating perceived freedom, and then put many restrictions and regulations on that freedom. Be sure to ask your child about that one. :)
We have begun a 40 Book Challenge!! All students are asked to read 40 (grade level appropriate) books throughout the year in a variety of genres. They are keeping an electronic log of thier progress, reflections, and goals.
I look forward to discussing these highlights and so much more on Curriculum Night (Wednesday night!).
I hope you all enjoy your long, holiday weekend!
