We had the best day! This morning we started our earthquake, volcano, and landslide research using online resources, books and Brain Pop. We are taking notes on our wiki with our research partner. Today we took a few notes, and we will continue on Friday. Also, we worked on posting our land and water observations and video onto the wiki. Get ready for an awesome Thursday.
Fall conferences will be held on November 16th and 17th. The sign-up will be posted at the end of the school day on Thursday, October 27th. If you would like for me to sign you up for a conference, please send me an email with the approximate time and day that works best for you. I understand that it may be hard to get into the building for this. I am happy to help!
