Conferences + Midwest Region

Conferences are this Monday and Tuesday from 2-8pm.  I am looking forward to meeting with all of you and discussing the progress of your student!  We had a great Friday learning about the famous sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

This past week we learned about the Midwest Region in our Social Studies Alive text.  The kids enjoyed learning about the stops on our Midwest Tour.  There is an extra credit project that I will attach in an email, and I have told the kids where to find it on Edmodo.  It’s called the Midwest Region Profiler Project and it’s similar to the invasive project we did.  Again, it’s optional, but the kids can get extra credit for completing it.  They will also receive a bonus badge on their Edmodo profile.
