Sorry about the lack of posts. We have not been on top of of our blogging. The last few weeks have seen big changes to our walls. Our learning posters and astronomy work are beginning to be replaced with our Character Trait posters from literature circle and a whole bunch of great Nez Perce BBK (Building Background Knowledge) thinking. We began with a mystery quote from Chief Joseph, which led to fact gathering from our common texts about the Nez Perce War and Flight of 1877. Students investigated boundary maps of the Nez Perce homeland, treaty of 1855 and the treaty of 1863. Today we learned how to make timelines by making our own timelines of events between 1800-1900. Next week we will begin to examining Nez Perce Culture.
"We started a new expedition this week. We are learning about Native Americans. It has been a 4 day week, because Monday was president's day. We are also studying the Nez Perce war of 1877.
