First, a reminder that conferences take place today from 4:00-7:30. ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies teachers will be in the Gym, and conferences are on a "first come" basis. Please limit your conference time to five minutes; if you need more time, I will be happy to meet with you during my planning time - 10:50-11:35 daily. A second evening of conferences will be Thursday, October 20 from 4:00-8:00. I hope to see you there :-)
Today, Ms Lytle continued the "Culture" activity as an introduction to Chapter 3 "The World's People". The students have been investigating/observing items from several different countries and recording information about the items. The class then discusses possible uses for each item.
Chapter 3 is a "Vocabulary Heavy" chapter, so I am going to post the vocabulary words separately from the "daily chatter" of the blog. It is an interesting chapter that includes a general overview of the meaning of culture, economic terms, and a discussion of globalization. It is one of my favorite chapters in the book!
