We are quickly approaching the end of Bud Not Buddy. As we near the finish, students are preparing for their final written assignment. Students will be tasked with selecting a scene that could be described as a turning point. We have been focusing in on these important events throughout the course of our reading periods. Students have enjoyed this book and I would expect that enthusiasm to shine through in their writing.
In social studies, room 312 began to focus in on the first interactions between European explorers and native Americans. We spent time today reading the picture book, Encounters. Students were tasked with attempting to use prior knowledge to help them determine what the natives were describing as Christopher Columbus arrived in America.
