Dear Parents,
Wow! The students did a phenomenal job presenting their websites or slideshow presentations of their UNSOLVED MYSTERIES. Thanks to all the parents who were able to attend in person or via Google "Hang Out". They worked very hard on all aspects of this project. I was extremely impressed by their attentiveness during the final presentations and the level of questions they asked each other. This project also was a success thanks to working collaboratively with Mrs. Foellmer, our Educational Technologist. Mr. Hummel, our technology director, made the Google "Hang Out" possible.
MONDAY: CLASS REWARD/CELEBRATION and CLASS BREAKFAST FROM PTO AUCTION that was bid on for our class by......Mrs. Foellmer!!! She was so impressed with the hard work they put into their projects!
I will be treating the class to Dunkin Donuts, fruit, and juice and we'll watch a Mystery!!

They are using the internet, as well as non-fiction text to learn more about the city they selected to live in, the type of housing, what school is like, daily life, activities, food, and the culture.
They will create a tri fold brochure using a template that's been shared on Google Documents.
