Here’s what’s happening this week:
1) Final drafts of our Long Term Project are due via google classroom by Friday at 8am. I have read all the rough drafts that have been turned in and left lots of comments for students. Students have done AMAZING thinking on their topics, but every single one of them still has lots to do before they turn in their final draft. We’ll definitely have class time to work on this over the week, but it won’t be a ton of class time so students should plan accordingly.
2) On Halloween, we have a shortened class due to an all-school party. We’ll be using the limited time we have together to write thank you notes to our amazing hosts from our food extravaganza last Friday. We had such a great time, learned A TON, ate well, and had a lot of fun. Thank you again for all your support of our ADI work.
3) On Friday after our film festival screening, we have a very special visitor to come and speak to our class. At 3pm, Chef Ann Cooper — internationally recognized author, chef, educator, public speaker, and advocate of healthy food for all children (also head of BVSD food services!) will be talking to our class to help us better understand the social science of school lunches. Hopefully, it will be a great discussion!
4) We’re also still working on our ancient civilization research. We’ll start writing scripts for our news broadcasts beginning the week of 11/4.
Have a great week! -JF
