On Thursday afternoon, we will reveal more about the image and its origins at the bottom of this post.
  • Completed our second picture prompt. We were given a picture from the NY Times What's Going on in this picture? with no caption or context. Our job was to examine the picture and using clues from the five W's (who, what, when, where, and why) try and figure out what is happening in the picture. 
  • Learned about the Federal Election which is taking place on October 21st. Each student had a chance to complete the Youth Vote Compass, which explained the different political parties and which group their beliefs and values align with most. 

We have no school next week. Students will return to school on Monday October 21st. Enjoy your Fall Break!
