Notetaking check & Europe preview

Kudos to Ms. Belloso's flamenco group for their entertaining performance this morning!

Today, Miss Devine met with students individually to grade their notetaking. Then, we discussed which text structure best fit our topic and selected a graphic organizer that we will use to begin organizing our ideas for the informational article.

In Social Studies, we continued to preview the Europe/Holocaust unit by reflecting on our paragraphs about injustice and discussing whether or not it is important to stand up and speak when we see something wrong happening. This is the guiding theme of our unit: Would you have helped? A look at the Jewish Holocaust. We also began to analyze European geography by coloring and labeling a political map of Europe. We will continue with this tomorrow.

HOMEWORK: Vocabulary sentences.
