First things first, I want to take a moment and say thank you to all of our veterans. Both of my grandfathers served in the military, and while they are no longer alive, I still take a moment every year to express my appreciation to them, and all of the other people who make so many sacrifices for our country.

It was such a short, but busy week! We wrapped up our Topic 3 math unit on Tuesday and took our assessment on Wednesday. Seven students scored 100% on the assessment and quite a few other students missed only one or two questions. GREAT JOB!!!
We also started researching Native Americans this week. This is one of my absolute favorite units of the school year. The students are so curious and engaged!
I want to take a minute and tell you about an amazing app that we used this week. It is called Google Expeditions and it is an incredible way to to experience virtual field trips! You can visit the moon, coral reefs, The Great Wall of China, even the surface of Mars. Talk about AMAZING! It is completely free but does require a device.
We used Google Expeditions to learn about and even tour a tipi today before writing about housing in our Native American non-fiction books.
