Completed Steno book (needs to be tweaked) Could we get the "packet" printed from print shop?
Pages were lost, and it was very time consuming gluing everything in the Steno book.

Can we make the character sheets a little less specific? Maybe more like a graphic organizer...

The newspaper project worked very well with Andy Starnes' support.]]> 2018-01-24 21:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/areedy1905/umr60au6uqot/wish/224449246 Fourth grade https://padlet.com/areedy1905/umr60au6uqot/wish/224449636 Can we have print shop copy the Westing Game packet? (after we update/modify things)

Possibly make a digital copy of the packet and add to Canvas.]]> 2018-01-24 21:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/areedy1905/umr60au6uqot/wish/224449636 Sixth grade https://padlet.com/areedy1905/umr60au6uqot/wish/224449833 Changes? 
Refreshments would be a good addition - water/snacks - donations? (This year's presentation will be in DMS - perhaps cafeteria?)
reCommunicate and revisit the eras and expectations

Wizard of Oz  
Showcase needs to be different.  (West Newton) – needed different organization
VM – poster board Instagram project – wants to use more technology this year
TpT had unit on Wizard of Oz
Every school did something different
“Oz the Great and Powerful” is the closest movie to the book.
An extra set of hands to help with project would have been helpful.  (Classroom support) Parent volunteer is a possibility.
Work on unit during Reading Workshop (guided reading groups)
Doink – app with green screen to create movie
