Day #164 - 6/8/15 - Unit 4: Ch 17 Sharing Research & “How to make Lemonade” demo

Good Morning Rebels, 

         I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weather we had this weekend. I spent most of my weekend working outside. What did you do?

         Today is an ‘E’ day so we will go to Art. We will also finish sharing our research papers, and go to the lab to do the lit circle discussion for chapter 17 on Kidblog. We will begin working on our “How to” writing pieces and continue watching the movie Food, Inc. Please order your lunch, sharpen your pencils, and work on the Point to Ponder.

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
