Science: Space Book Talk

Just a note to inform families that students are currently preparing/giving a book talk presentation to the class on a Space-themed book of their choosing from our school library.  The project involves 1) thoroughly previewing a scientific source, 2) preparing a brief written synopsis, and 3) orally presenting that information to the their peers in a structured format.  We should be ready to begin presentations this week.

Social Studies Project: My Individual Past

Division 1 Students will be completing a project in Social Studies in which they research their individual history.  Parents, expect to help students compile 3-5 family photos, plus 3-5 images of historical personal items, which can be emailed to Mr. Nast, or sent in to class on a memory stick.  Students will also be interviewing an adult family member to learn more about themselves.

We will then compile our research and create: 1) a personal timeline and 2) a slideshow about our lives, which we will present in class.
