// Week of January 21 //

Students spent time this week analyzing primary source documents based on the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., and wrote about what they found out.  They also learned about producers, consumers, and decomposers in the food chain, and created their own edible “living soil.”  In Readers’ Workshop, we began a unit on myths and folktales to connect to our ancient civilization studies. Students edited their Writers’ Workshop pieces, independently and then with the help of a friend, in preparation for our publishing event among friends next week.
