Communities: Past and Present




 
The students are researching various communities in the United States and learning how they have changed over time. They are working in groups to collect facts and then designing a poster to present their information to the class. The communities we are exploring are: Seattle, Astoria, Denver, Wilmington, and El Paso. The students are doing a great job at using primary and secondary resources to discover information and they are learning so much about the changes that happen over time in all communities.

Caleb's Book Chat

Caleb always does a fantastic job with his book chats. He loves non-fiction books and creates wonderful displays to go with his great books! This time Caleb read a book about volcanoes and created a model to show the class. Thank you, Caleb for sharing good literature and helping us to learn new information.
