Haven't updated in a while, but things have been crazy here at LC since Winter Break between ISATs, random days off, and hardly any outdoor recess :) Now that Spring Break has arrived, here's a few things the students can do over break:
1. READ!!! With the weather not looking like a typical Spring Break, what better thing to do than stay inside, cry about the cold weather, and READ an amazing book!
2. RESEARCH BIOGRAPHIES!!! We have been reading books/researching here at school for the last 3 weeks. We haven't quite got as much time as we'd wanted, but the students should have a pretty good start. However, the more they read online, the better they'll get to know their famous person. They should be writing down important notes in their notebooks on the corresponding pages. Any extra books for the Oswego Public Library would be helpful as well.
3. In Social Studies, we've been following the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. We've also been watching an animated series that follows our steps. While we haven't quite gotten to the war itself, we are on the verge. If the students would like to watch the next episode (because we WON'T watch it in class) here it is:

4. Follow the college basketball tournament! Every student from the class got 2 teams to follow and hopefully one of their teams will survive a little while. They can follow the tournament bracket here:
