This Week

Students will be going on a field trip this week to the Botanical Garden in Brunswick County.  For homework, students will be required to finish work from the classes that they attend during the day.

In my class, we are reading "The Girl Who Discovered the Dinosaurs". They may look at the article here:

This Week

We have started our new and last unit "Figure it Out." This is our mystery unit.  Students will be able to identify the elements of mystery, to describe appropriate vocabulary (Detective's Dictionary), analyze a mystery, formulate a theory and solve the mystery.  Students will also look at several scientific mysteries.

Please review this short video on the mystery genre.
