Below you will see some pics of our fantastic Potlatch.  Pablo, our gust speaker, gave a lecture on the Peopling of Americas with artifacts, and he also had a storytelling/music presentation in the afternoon. Students are also doing a great job presenting on their own native American research and you will see some of those projects below too.

This week we have a few things to wrap up in each subject before we celebrate with our Winter Party this Friday.  Below is the focus for each subject this week.
Reading: Finish our read aloud and work on Book Shares
Writing: Nonfiction DWA about Harriet Tubman and word study work sheet
Math: Finish division of decimals; unit test on Thursday; midterm test on Friday
Social Studies: share NA presentations
Science: complete Winter holiday door decoration on Passenger Pigeons
