Inventors

The first two months of school we have been focusing on reading non-fiction texts, since that is the majority of what we read throughout our day. We have been working on strategies that will help us read these texts more efficiently and to help us summarize them. Meanwhile our content has been about inventors. We have read about different inventions, how inventors are able to solve problems, and the different steps inventors take to come up with their product or idea. This past week we have talked about Leonardo da Vinci and how he used his creativity and drawing skills to come up with his great inventions. We will continue to talk more about Leonardo next week.

Important Days:
Sunday: Bears play in London 12pm
Monday: Kick-off to Red Ribbon Week
Thursday: Early Dismissal: School Improvement Day
