Native American Tribes in North America

During Social Studies, we have been researching various tribes from North America. While researching, we have been learning various things about each tribe. Please tell us what you have learned about your tribe. Don't forget to tell us who you are researching!

Connections

While we read, we want to make connections to the text. There are 3 types of connections that we can make: Text to text, text to self, and text to World connections. As you are reading your just right books and literature circle books, what connections are you making?

Out of School Activities

Tell us more about yourself! When you are not in school, what do you like to do? Tell us about the activities that you are involved in!

Summer Reading

I hope each of you enjoyed reading something over summer break! It might have been a book, magazine, newspaper... I just hope you all were reading! During summer, I enjoyed the book, Shooting The Moon. It was about a girl and her experiences while her brother was at war. He would take pictures while at war and send her the rolls of film. She learned how to develop the pictures, and learned a lot more about life from the photos. It was a great book! Please share with us what you read, a little bit about it, and if you would recommend it to others.

Memorable Summer

I hope you all had a wonderful summer. I enjoyed spending time with my little boys, Jake and Holden! What was the best and worst part of your summer vacation? Tell us all about it!
