• In Math, through the lens of an "architect" students have started blueprints creating their "space colony" for the astronauts to live in on our moonscape.
• We continued our Planet presentations today. 
• Working as journalists and writing their news articles about the planets continues to be a focus.  Today we discussed "tone" and how we can use a positive tone or a negative tone in writing and in our spoken words.  We specifically discussed how our tone for news article writing would appear differently than most of our pieces of writing - Direct, factual and to the point.
• We read Malala today.  We are at the forth part in the book.  Part 1 - Before the Taliban, Part 2 - A Shadow over our Valley, Part 3 - Finding my Voice, Part 4 - Targeted.

• Students started researching information about the Iroquois Confederacy.
