Fort Ross: We are closing in on the number of chaperones needed to make Fort Ross a success. Thank you for all who have expressed an interest so far. See the summer letter for more details about the responsibilities of chaperones. At Back to School Night, we will briefly discuss the responsibilities, explain the job/role playing groups, answer any questions about the trip, and hope to fill any last chaperone spots open. That is also when chaperones will inform us of their interest in job/role playing groups. One note, adults are not assigned to the same group as their child.
Today in Strawberry Creek - We began our first multi-step writing project with prewriting activities involving topic lists and idea webs to expand on our topics. We also had our first Art class in split groups, during which half of the students remained in class to continue CA geography activities. We introduced a text book to the kids - the first experience with an actual text book for most - and began a map making lesson of California. The text book was used as reference, as we studied its organization and structure, identified key information, and explored maps, charts and diagrams.
