Robinhood Prep for Thursday, December 6:

We will be doing a critical thinking lesson using the stories of Robinhood. To prepare, please have your student read any of the Robinhood stories. You can find one online, or ask them to read any chapter from "The Adventures of Robinhood" if they have that book. It will be helpful if we have all read a variety of stories, so any story will work! Thank you!

I've seen several of the kids' castles and they are looking great!  In order to discuss them best, we want to project each image on the wall so it is larger.  Will you please ask your kiddos to go over their lines (and words) in fine black marker?  After this is done, you can snap a photo of the castle with your cell phone and email it to hopie@treehouselearningcommunity.us
She will include the images in a slideshow. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
This week we talked about the challenge of re-organizing society after the fall of Rome and the kids participated today in a simulation of Feudalism.
FOR HOMEWORK:  I've sent home a packet that all of the kids will do with some readings on Charlemagne - this is a good critical thinking exercise in which they will analyze two tellings of the same story and identify bias in each.  In case any packets did not make it home, I am attaching the PDFs here (above) - there are TWO PDFs, and they look almost identical, but some words are changed in the text itself for the bias piece.

We will discuss next week!

We had the best writing class ever! Your kids are doing great. We have another story to write this week. Three paragraphs. Just like the last two weeks. I encouraged the kids to be sure to use the checklist in page 27, this will help make sure that all the dress-ups are included in the paper. This week, students learned to make the title of the paper come from the last sentence, it should reflect or repeat 2-3 words from the last sentence to the title. Have a great week.

If you would like to do a more in depth /hands-on presentation (if your character makes food or performs in some way, for example), you are welcome to do that!  Just let us know so that we can schedule it into our unit.

Chapter 3
This is a hard one! Students may need more parent help this week. Everyone is working hard and doing a great job. Your student came home with a key word outline to work from. This is the same type of outline we used in the last paper, the story sequence outline (pg. 21 in your guide).  We added a new dress-up today, the who/which clause, it is exactly what it sounds like and the kids did a great job playing around with it. Homework is a three paragraph paper on the buffalo hunt, the checklist for the paper is on page 24. Please have your student use the checklist and underline the dress-ups. Please be your child's editor, students learn so much from the editing process. Have a great week! Please comment here with any questions, I will try to check a couple of times a day to answer.
