Native American Projects

We just finished up a unit in Social Studies on the Native Americans in Pennsylvania.
Students worked in groups and researched a Native American tribe in Pennsylvania. The main tribes to live in PA were the Lenape and the Susquehannock. The Erie, Seneca, and Shawnee also lived in PA. The students did a very nice job creating their informative posters. Pictured here are Maddie, Reese, and Misty with their poster on the Erie Indians.

Animal Classification

In our animal unit, we have been classifying the animal kingdom. Today in Science the students did a classification activity. They had to first classify animals as either a vertebrate or an invertebrate. Then they had to classify all the vertebrates as a mammal, bird, reptile, fish, or amphibian. They had to classify the invertebrates as arthopods, mollusks, echinoderms, or ringed worms. Pictured here are Casey and Noah.

Spelling - Week of October 6-10

This is a review week for spelling. Students should be studying the words from units 1-5. I will be sending a new list with the students today in case you no longer have the list. This week's test will be a bit different. It is a 25 point multiple choice test, and students will have to choose the correct spelling of the word from 4 different choices.
