Happy Fall!
Today we are excited to welcome Vicki Leeper from Moscow's Disability Action Center. She is sharing a Smithsonian visual history of disabilities in America. Her presentation is a great addition to our study of the role of government (the American Disabilities Act) and our Literature Circles that center on characters with disabilities. We will also learn about the Special Olympics next week and take a look and the Spread the Word to End the Word campaign. If you are interested, look at: www.r-word.org
Our goal is to finish the books by Thursday October 8th.
In US History we are hoping to have actual books sometime soon! In the meantime, we are working through a packet that looks at the variety of cultures that contribute to the population of Colonial America. We are using the PBS series We Shall Remain. You can find this online if you too are interested.
Reminder....The 1st Quarter Choice Book Dialectic Journal is due October 23rd.
Please check in with your student regarding their progress with their dialectical journal. Happy reading and writing!!!
