A VERY BUSY WEEK!!!

 This is us doing D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read)

This is us presenting our Native American Relocation Projects.

We started reading The Fourteenth Goldfish about a month ago as part of the Global Read Aloud challenge, and today we just finished it by listening to the author, Jennifer Holm, read aloud the final chapter.The story is about Ellie, a 12 year old girl, who had a goldfish, who she thought, lived for 7 years. But, her mom was just replacing the goldfish when they died. Ellie saw her thirteenth goldfish dead, and that's when her mom finally told her what she did. Ellie's grandfather, Melvin, got a jellyfish liquid that can make people young, and Melvin made himself 13 again. Many things happen in this book, and I suggest you read it. Its a great book!

We were learning about Native Americans for the last 5 weeks. We were studying about specific tribes. Then we took a quiz about the specific tribes. Then we moved the tribes into a different region. We had to study the new region and we had to write about what the new region tribes wear, eat, and live in. We had to find skills that our tribe had in their own region that made it easier to adapt to the new region. We also had to find disadvantages for our tribe in their new region.  We also had to make a presentation for the class on google slides.
