Visualizing & Seedfolks

Friday! Woot woot!

Today we reviewed vocabulary homework. Class 6B needs to complete the Seedfolks vocabulary sheet for homework. We discussed our second active reading strategy, visualizing and practiced visualizing while reading chapters 2 & 3 of Seedfolks. We discussed the characters in the book and marked our maps with the countries where these characers are from. We will be beginning our Personal Heritage Culture project on Monday, therefore we began a discussion about aspects of personal culture. Students should bring in an artifact to represent one of those aspects of culture- recreation/play- for homework. The artifact needs to be something that can be glued to the pizza box.

Congrats on making it through your first week of middle school!

Homework: 6B- finish vocab sheet. All students- bring in a artifact to represent the recreation/play aspect of your personal culture. This object should be able to be glued to a pizza box. Also, bring in your own wrapping paper to wrap your pizza box on Monday. If you do not bring in wrapping paper you will use the paper provided in class.
