What's Your Family History?

For the last two weeks we have been sharing our heritage projects.

We have learned so much about each others rich family history!

Buddy Reading

Ms. Tipton's kids love to read!!! Buddy Reading is a great way to help improve students reading and fluency! Students can motivate and help each other to better comprehend or decode difficult words.

Why Do People Settle on Rivers?

Students carrying their water to their colony

In Science Lab last week, students got to pretend to be a colonist transporting water from the river to their land.  They learned several reasons why settlers might want to live near rivers.  They also learned what a hard job it was to lug the water around.  Take a look at some pictures!

Students getting the water from "the river"

I would really love to see this blog become interactive.  I am offering a homework pass if students can come on here and comment one reason why people settled on rivers.  Just click comment and write your answer.  Sign it with your first name and last initial.  You don't need to put your last name!
Good luck!

Jamestown Simulation

In class, we have been discussing how Jamestown was the first successful colony in the new world.  We played this game that allows you to try and make a new colony work.  The link for the game is below.  Each time you play becomes a different game if you make different decisions.
