Cotton!

Here are six bales of cotton I just saw in south Alabama. They are each almost as big as a small school bus!

Updates

Monday, December 1...all LA students need to bring a large brown paper grocery bag to school for a gingerbread man project. We also need donations of buttons, any size or type, and packs of white "rick rack." Thank you so much!

All SS students need to bring their invention research to school on a jump drive on Monday.

Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!  I am so thankful for all of my wonderful students. They truly are a special group!!

Immigration

Our SS lesson yesterday was "immigration." Great timing considering the president's executive order. We mentioned it briefly today, but didn't discuss it in depth. Take some time to discuss it this week. It's a great teaching moment!

SS students engaged in Growing Groups...

Students had to collaborate on main ideas of sections of SS text, then combine those into a summary. 

Groups of two turned into groups of four, then combined into groups of eight. Great discussions on the Labor Movement throughout!

Strong Information...

Learning about immigration...

He did it! So proud!
