Team Mindcrafter Daily Update 1-15-14

Parents,

SOCIAL STUDIES:  Tonight your child will be bringing home a packet with information about our social studies project.  Please look over this with your child, and sign and return the bottom portion as their homework for tonight.  To help understand this project, students had an opportunity to learn about me today by examining several of my "historic artifacts".  They learned that by studying primary sources carefully, and asking questions, you can learn a lot about the past.  The students enjoyed this hands-on experience, and I look forward to hearing about their history, with the artifacts they will choose to share in this project. 

Check out some pictures of the students today examining the artifacts on our blog.
