Today you will complete a BINGO board activity for your book club book, along with reading the agreed upon amount. I am looking for some more challenging choices today. Please push yourself a bit more. Do some make-writing using lose parts! Is anyone up the challenge of #4, #5,# 8, or #13? I can’t wait to see your creations!

Theme

Watch “Lou,” a Pixar short film. It is about 4 minutes.  You may decide to watch this more than once to notice all the details in the film.

 

Add to the Padlet when you are ready. If possible, try to complete your jots before our Zoom class so we can have some great conversations about your ideas. Remember to add text evidence to your thinking and connect with any of your peers’ ideas similar to La Luna. Write your first name and your class code. Ex. Lindsay 3M

On this day in 1787 Delegates gathered in Philadelphia to draw up the US Constitution. While the Constitution was the final result of this meeting, the delegates’ original plan was to re-write the Articles of Confederation (the first set of rules for our country) but that didn’t work out once they realized how many flaws the original set of rules had. To learn more about this historic event, visit Ducksters. Read about the Constitutional Convention and take the quiz!
