Hello Parents,
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Students seemed to be in a good mood today.......probably well rested! We are starting a new unit on the "early colonies", starting with Jamestown and Plymouth. Then we move into the 13 colonies with reasons why people from England were moving, cultural differences, life in the colonies, Native American interactions, and more. This would be a great time to share any stories passed down through your families related to this time period if your families date back that far.
I will also be having a hands-on "Colonial Week" as we get closer to Christmas break. This is a very fun time where students have an opportunity to experience activities from the colonial era. I am looking for parent volunteers to help on some of those days. Specifically I need help with "quilting" - helping small groups. I also need help with running games on one of the days. Let me know if you could help. I will let you know dates as we get closer (it most likely will take place during the week of 12/19-12/22). Thank you.
This week will focus on Jamestown. We will be using Chapter 5, Section 1 as a guide. The following are the tasks for the week:
____ Ch. 5, Sect. 1 questions/vocabulary (due Wed)
____ Web Activity: Jamestown ey.glencoe.com, chap. 5 web activities (dueThurs)
____ QUIZ: Ch. 5, Sect. 1 (Fri.)
Have a great week.
Mr. Burton
