As you saw, this week we announced that our schedule will change starting on April 12th to allow for more instructional time. Please make sure to request any changes to your scholar’s instructional model by this Sunday per the email sent from the district on Wednesday evening. We are excited to be able to be with scholars more. To see more information, please go to this link.
Next week marks the end of the 3rd quarter. It’s hard to believe we are that far into the school year. This is a great time to look over IC with your student so that the report card won’t have any surprises. Remember, IC is the gradebook and Google Classroom is simply how we share the work with students. We are grateful for your help and support at home as we work to help your learner explore, learn and grow all year long.

We are grateful for all of the care and energy they have put into the work with our scholars. We are winding down with TED talks with students’ first draft being due next Friday before spring break.

We are continuing with our Dystopian Book Clubs unit. Students will be getting their books next week and they should be diving into them over spring break. We expect them to read the first section of their books and be ready to discuss by the time they get back

Geography (Stoller) | We continue to work on the topic of Tourism, its pros and cons and asking the question ‘What should individuals, businesses or governments do regarding tourism?’ It’s a really broad question and the idea is for them to make a claim based on the reading they have done and then support it with evidence from the readings. I am noticing that this is a really difficult skill for them so we will continue to work on it next quarter with another question.
Questions: *What is your claim about tourism? *What is ecotourism vs tourism? *Are both of your Asia maps and your India map have a score of at least a 2? If so, have you done your map quiz? If not, what is your plan to get those done so that you can submit and then take the map quiz? * What did you learn about 2 important tourist sites in China? What were the two and what was unique about them? |
