Hi Division 13 Superstars. We've got a four-day week this time around. Here's the plan:
Our Salish Sea field trip has been postponed! The weather on Tuesday night and into Wednesday sounds positively gnarly and frightful. So Eagle Wing has kindly moved our trip to Wednesday, November 20th. Please stay tuned for more information about this. Thanks for your patience as we get things reorganized.
Social Studies: This week's cooperation-in-Salish-Sea-stewardship theme is fisheries. We'll attempt to answer questions that governments and conservation groups and the commercial fishing industry have wrestled with for decades. Easy! We'll get involved in a fishing industry simulation game, and we'll look at what conservation and restoration groups are doing to keep the Salish Sea's fish stocks healthy.
Math: We'll spend some time working with a division strategy called the "partial quotients" strategy. Check the video in the sidebar for a refresher.
Writing: You have now received feedback about your Halloween stories. Please hold on to the assessment page: I'll ask you to apply this feedback to your next piece. We have moved into the Organization writing trait. To start with, we'll think sequentially as we organize details - listing things from first to last helps keep things predictable and easy to read for our audience.
Science: The brain is so complex. We'll build a wearable model to help us remember the various functions of important parts of our cerebrum. Fun!
That's all for this week! Enjoy!
