Book Fair-Always A Big Day


Book fair-Today was our allotted 30 minute stint at this year's book fair. Three local vendors plus the PTA had tables of books on display for reduced rate prices. Students explored the many options and made their purchases. We certainly had to return to class for a nice read of the new material.
Field trip discussion-we spent a good time processing what students had observed at the water treatment plant yesterday. Students made observations of the treating of water on a large scale, but also were guided to make connections to the kampung observed last week. There are many connections, with the issue of water cleanliness being dealt with on a large scale and also the household level. (Hughes only)
Teaching movie making-students worked with one of Ms. Whiteley's group, helping them perform a poem, film it, then go through the video editing process in the M11 and M12 labs. All of this is in preparation for Monday and Tuesday's editing of the videos taken at the Bintaro Lama kampung yesterday. (Marrello only)

Homework-
1) Read 20 minutes, twice
2) Create a social studies blog post about the water treatment trip. This should be 7 paragraphs long, with a graphic included. (Hughes only)
