(Ripp) | We did a mini Shark Tank presentation this week as a way to continue working on presentation skills. We now take a few days to venture into standardized testing and then we will kick off our next unit; overcoming obstacles book club. The inquiry question for this unit is: who gets to have the American dream?
Snacks and water are always great for Forward exam taking and help kids focus.
Deadlines:
Questions to ask: How did your Shark Tank Pitch go? How can you show off your learning on the Forward test? Did you meet your 5th reading goal? What is your 6th reading goal? What do you think is the American Dream?

(Gunst) | We have a busy week coming up. In preparation for the upcoming Forward Wisconsin Test, we will be doing some work on writing written responses to essay questions. Additionally, we are having a short unit, Shark Tank, in which your student will come up with an invention or product and then create a presentation to be shared with the rest of the class. This unit will serve to develop students’ public speaking skills. As always, please continue to foster your student’s independent reading assignment (20 minutes of reading outside of class).
