Australia, Story Problems, and Spanish Nicknames

Journal Assignment:

As you know, we have been learning about how differences make us more valuable. For the next few minutes, I would like you to list as many ways as you can think of that makes us unique. You should have at least ten ways listed. If you finish early, write a short paragraph about the most unusual person you have ever met. Be sure to include details about why you chose this person. Did they behave differently? Did they look differently? Do they sound differently?

Today, we will be looking at a few interesting classrooms in Australia. We will be choosing one with whom we will make contact. Our first destination will be Leopold Elementary School. We will then be visiting a 6/7 grade class from Cooinda Primary School. Lastly, we can take a look at Ms. Brown's Grade 5/6 class blog to find out what classes around the world are learning. I am especially interested in discussing a Flat Stanley Project, we will be engaging in a Decision Making Talents Activity to see whether we should participate or not.

Be sure to check back her next week to find our Exploreum Presentation. We will be publishing our findings about native Australian wildlife to prepare us for our Exploreum Field Experience!

We will also be creating a timeline using timetoast. The timeline will include historical hispanic icons from whom we will adopt our new nicknames.
