What a crazy week on Team Spencer. We have been working hard to get ready for the school play. We all made shadow puppets and have been working on our lines. It will be a great show.
In government, we have a new president. Sean is our new president. He has already chosen his new government and is working on new ways to make the classroom system more sustainable. The goal is for the class not to need the teacher.
We are working on a general outline for our Hero's journey stories so that we have all the elements of our prewriting complete. Next week we will start writing our first chapter to our stories. We continued to read the Odyssey and are beginning to understand how to summarize what we've read without adding too much extra details to our summaries.
Every week in our class we will be reading a chapter from our favorite books to each other. We will then have to choose a book that was recommended to us for our next reading project. If you want to know what books we recommend, there will be a display of them outside of Spencer's classroom.
In math, we are beginning our music video project. We are watching multiplication music videos and playing games to memorize our multiplication tables. We will then be either writing our own songs or remixing a song we have already heard and making our own multiplication music videos.
