** Costume items needed!  The class is energized about the Greek Myth Plays they will be performing in a couple weeks for their Reading Buddies (and maybe a few parents ;)) and we are in need of a few costume items. We are looking for a "female" wig or two, maybe a beard, and we will need a few more twin bed sheets that we will wrap around them and secure with rope (think ancient Greek attire).

- Ask Your Child About - 

• Morning Meeting, wellness/personal growth
• Team building mystery game - students followed clues and worked together to solve the mystery
• Continued celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by highlighting two more celebrated people, Astronaut Calpana Chawla and doctor/actor Haing Ngor.

• English
• Reviewed/studied Root packet #2 and tested
• Mysteries continued! We reviewed elements of mystery stories and watched Enola Holmes while spotting clues and elements of mystery stories, like "red herrings". After students received inspiration, they organized a mystery story outline of their own and began writing!

• Science
• The class enjoyed two lessons, one about the Caribbean tectonic plate and how there is land under the ocean (saw some cool images of the ridges under water), and an engineering lesson about Taipei 101, known for it's height and structural design that can withstand earthquakes and high winds.

• Social Studies/Global Perspectives
• Greece: how the geography of the land affected the people, how the city-states were organized, and how the governments changed over time (and why)
• The class learned about Greek myths and began to practice for 4 Greek Myth plays they will perform in a few weeks. This is going to be so fun!
