Happy Thanksgiving!

Sarah and I are so enjoying our conferences with all you wonderful parents! It's really great to make these connections and be able to share with you all the joys of teaching your students.

Thanks to Barb Gilson we have some wonderful photos to share of our past field studies. Click on the following links to check them out! Mt St Helens Jean's Farm Columbia Gorge Trip

Geologic Time Scale Project:
Over the break students are to complete a project that represents geologic time. They need to create a scale that models the geologic time periods. I will send an email that has the assignment as an attachment in case students have lost their sheets.
- Extra credit if you include images/events relevant to the specific time periods.
- Remember your scale is the most important! Make sure it is clear on your project what you scale is (for example: 1 second = 1 million years)
- Please just return the assignment sheet signed by a parent on Monday or an email will suffice -- bring in your actual project on Wednesday, Dec. 7th

Due Tuesday:
- 'Connections' worksheet for a book you are currently reading. Practice making text-self, text-text, and text-world connections.

Due Wednesday:
- Page 39 in the Service Learning Journal -- Buy Nothing Day
