Weekly Post 11-18-16


We got a lot of work done on Team Spencer this week.  On Monday, Allyson Bettis, the Treasurer of Garden City, came to talk to us about the role of the treasurer in the treasurer in a government.  We played a cool money game and got some Garden City swag.  We took what we learned and started a tax system for our class government.  We will use the taxes to provide the kids with free paper markers and other supplies that they previously had to pay class money for.  We began reading the Odyssey and have started fitting what we read into the steps of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey theory.  We have also been writing our own Hero's Journey story.  In Math we have finished measuring and cutting all of the wood.  We are now using our measurements and the diagrams we made to put the drawers together.
