PTA Meeting
Thursday, September 5
6:00p.m.
Essential Question: How does experiencing nature change the way you think of it? Ms. Cash and her 5th graders compared their experience to the late president Roosevelt’s experiences they discovered he had within the text, “Camping with the President”. They concluded with reading his autobiography & connected their vocabulary to the items found in nature (debris, naturalist, encounter, & spectacular). #learningandgrowinginharmony
Ms. Salinas and her third graders add a little kinesthetic learning and creative movement to their vocabulary review as a ‘before reading’ strategy. #learningandgrowinginharmony #wsfcs #studentengagement
