//Curriculum Update: Week of October 1 //

This week, students studied the origins of Writing, Numbers, and Language in their History work. Students chose to study the timeline of events of one of these topics. They read  various sources and compiled new information in a writing piece—students then created a small visual piece to accompany their writing. Students also had a History lesson about how archaeologists interpret artifacts and make their own educated guesses about what they were used for. They will explore a book called “The Motel of Mysteries,” where future archaeologists make comedic, erroneous guesses about how we use common objects. In Readers’ Workshop,  students began a unit on mysteries and are learning the aspects of this genre.
