Week of 5/14 to 5/18
Mood:  happy
This week Mrs. Hasseler was at 6th Grade Camp, so the students had Mrs. Stevens as their teacher, along with Mr. Vander Velden, a student teacher. They worked on the studies of Africa. Students were allowed to pick 2 contrasting countries (1 North and 1 South). The students were given 3 to 4 days to work on research for these countries. They were then asked to find contrasting terrain photos, as well as chart their information, and work on a short write-up comparing and contrasting their countries. The students seemed to stay on task the days I was in the classroom, and I am very proud of them for that!
