Trip- to- the- Southwest- Tuesday

Today we.....

  •  started with a journey to the Southwest Region.  We discussed the Mexican War, and why the region feels the influence of the Mexican culture.  We talked about natural landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, and we talked more about renewable and non renewable natural resources.  The students did a great job planning their stops in this region and writing their postcards.
  • Learned the Super 6 song.  We practiced in the classroom and with Mr. Fahrenbach.
  • Created Mountain Artful Expressions Foldables.  We used last night's homework and our books to add detail from the text.
  • Worked on using a function table to help us find patterns and write equations
  • Used our notes, books, and billboard projects to create 60 second commercial segments to advertise behavioral or physical adaptations.  We will perform on Friday.

Tonight at home....
  • Complete the math sheet
  •  Read and do Activities  in the Science Text pp173-183.  We will use the video lesson to guide tomorrow's lesson.  Don't forget: the "Lesson Vocabulary" on page 173 can be found throughout these pages. Look for the highlighted words.
  • Don't forget that your Animal Project is due on 1/11/13.  Many people have already brought in their wonderful dioramas and essays.  They are fantastic!
  • Fill out the Field Trip Form and bring it in with the payment as soon as possible!  Our trip is next Wednesday, 1/15.  We need three volunteers to join us  at the Field Museum.
