State Maps Coming Home to finish
The students have spent a considerable amount of class time working on their state maps, and many have a few steps left to accomplish. We have sent the maps home with the kids who need to complete their maps along with the materials they require.
We will not be working on them in class, so the students should plan times to work on them over the next 4 days.
The maps are due on Wednesday, October 17
Map criteria (or requirements) - The students should have a paper copy of this to guide them.
In addition, the students have selected 7 factoids from their background research to include on the map. Most students have these written on index cards in an envelope (ready to be attached to the map). Please note: the background research question sheet has 15 facts that were to have been researched. Only 7 need to be placed on the map, however, one of the following is required: Famous Person, Historical Event, Interesting Fact or Famous Place to Visit.
Colored pencils and other materials borrowed from the classroom for the project should also be returned by Wednesday.
New Strawberry 5th Grader: Please welcome Sunny (and family) joining Strawberry on Monday. He visited a couple weeks ago and the class is excited he will be part of our community.
