I am home today with my sick daughter, I’m hoping to be back tomorrow, but it is not looking promising. Today I had the sub have the kids work in groups to discuss how what we learned about Marco Polo and the Muslims helped Europe enter the Renaissance. I want to make sure that I am able to review the information with the class and that everyone understands the material before I ask them to respond to the prompt. If I am in school tomorrow (Tuesday) than the students will be given the prompt on Wednesday, but if I have to be out again I will push it to Thursday. I will also make sure to take pictures of all of our class notes and post them on the blog so that kids have access to them.
thanks Ms Newton

In Language Arts this week we will be working on the signposts for reading- how to identify them, what type of thinking they require, and how that thinking can then be used to have an effective discussion about reading.
In Social Studies we are learning about Marco Polo's journey to China, the learning and discoveries that were happening in the Muslim world and how all of these discoveries helped pull Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the Age of Exploration. |
