Colorado unit! Always a fav. When kids got to mine for Gold on Gold Hill....I wish we could do more field trips around Colorado because that is what we are studying about...Celebrate the high interest that the kids have with their Natural Disaster unit and integrating with their writing unit.  Lara's lessons and Kate's lessons were absolutely the kid's favorite.

We are using our digital portfolios regularly, adding 1 or more pieces of work, from each unit.  We have created a folder for each unit.  The pieces of work vary from, paper, to projects, to videos, to readings, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
We use SeeSaw for every subject and add to it daily/weekly.  Is that too much...should our post be more about end of unit or reflections rather than daily learning activities?
