Interviews

Adventist Community ServicesA BIG thank you to Mr. Delbert Hayden who very generously gave his time to let the students interview him for their PBL project. Pastor Brad will be coming in tomorrow to do the same thing. The students have been surprised at the information they are learning about people they see on a regular basis. I am so glad that they will be able to give these every day heroes some recognition.

In the student's folder you will find a permission slip for a short field trip on Thursday. We are going to help the Adventist Community Services organize their donations for the people affected by the Beulah fire. Afterwards, we will go to City Park for a picnic lunch. This will be a great opportunity for our students to help out their community. Please sign and return tomorrow.

Today in science we learned about different types of energy. Point to different things in the house and ask them what kind of energy it represents. Also ask them if it is potential or kinetic.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86PzkRbw4_U&list=PLoN89mLJ12e5nkf8DJpOGN7AuuuQzScw_&index=4

In writing we learned how to write a paragraph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p44F3lbO7oA My older students wrote down notes and are learning how to write a research paper/essay.  Here is a great example of a hero paper. http://www.professays.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Hero-Essay-Sample.jpg

Our quote for today is from Christopher Reeve, "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
