This week has flown by! We had a good time with Poe last week - I collected their Raven worksheet on Tuesday -- they should all be very ready for further in-depth at the high school next year :) On Monday of this week, Jerry Harms covered the balance of power in the House and the Senate - discussed some of the close races - etc... they also had time in class to finish up their WSH ch. 4 questions --- On Tuesday - we reviewed the answers to the questions - added details --- the students keep their questions until the quiz on Friday so they can study! We have done a bit more coverage on Lewis and Clark (and York, Sacajawea, and others too!) and today we started a group activity where they are mapping, giving instructions, describing, and then summarizing. Each student has individual as well as group responsibilities - this activity should wrap up tomorrow and they will need to finish a bit of drawing and/or writing over the weekend.
