Friday, December 4th

Happy Friday, y'all!!!

What an unbelievably great week!  We have accomplished so many things this week.  I am so proud of the hard work the Superstars are putting in everyday!

We continue our inquiry into weather maps and data to make decisions about the weather.  Students were challenged to sort the characteristics of climate and weather on the tables.  We discussed their sorts and moved things around as necessary.

Many students were able to begin drafting their opinion pieces today.  We modeled this process and demonstrated how to incorporate our understanding of the central idea and lines of inquiry throughout our opinion pieces.  Students were able to plan and make decisions about the conclusion of their pieces by restating their opinion, reviewing their reasons and giving a final thought on the subject.

I heard wonderful things about our F.AVE Chorus performance at the Decatur Tree Lighting.  I am so proud of you!!

Don't forget:
December 8th is Book-Out for F.AVE at Little Shop of Stories.  Proceeds will benefit the F.AVE Media Center.
Orders for F.AVE Spirit Wear Sweatshirts are due on Monday.

I hope that you have a restful weekend.  See you Monday!
