We spent Sunday focusing on our Family Roots projects. We are at the point where we have chosen the things we think are most important, interesting and unique about our families and we are putting them together into the actual paper.
Unfortunately, I brought the wrong keys and forgot the set that has my flashdrive with the students' paragraphs on it, so we started off at the next paragraph so we can put them all together next class. So far, we have found out lots of interesting things about our family histories. We have small families, huge families, families that came over in the early 1900s and someone who is thought to be the first Mayflower rider to set foot of Plymouth Rock.
We are going to spend 1 more class period working in class on the Family Roots essays and if anyone still needs to finish after that, we will need to finish outside of class.
Also right now, students are working on their Wisdom of the Guides interviews. Since they are a bit overwhelmed about it, I suggested that over the next 2 weeks, they choose the 2 easiest interviews to get done. Also, as the students have marked in their binders, I have moved the due date back to Dec 2. That way, if someone wants to interview a family member who they will see over Thanksgiving, that is a possibility.
As always, send questions and concerns my way.

This is great Becca!
