Global Education Team Presentations

Hi Guys,

     The presentations were awesome. Everybody did a great job. The speeches were well-written, informative and presented with energy. The diorama's looked great. However, most importantly and the main purpose of this month-long exercise was to learn how to collaborate as a team. The teamwork on display was excellent...especially with The Amazing Amazons, The Pink Dolphins, the Amazon Specials and finally the Grand Masters. Good Job everyone!

Experience Class Field Trip

Hi Guys,

     Today we went to the beautiful Taipei Botanical Gardens to enjoy the every day beauty of the plants that surround us. We learned all about rain forest plants, the ones that grow in the Amazon, the Congo and other jungles around the world. It's so much better to see the plants up close and personal instead of on a TV screen or in a book.

     This Friday, we have our unit test. The Vocabulary Review Test is next week on Tuesday. The units covered on the tests are exclusively from the two Reading Street stories called Dear Juno and Anansi Goes Fishing. Next week on Wednesday, we'll make videos of each team presenting their team project for the Global Education focus of the Experience Class. All videos will be posted on the blog.

Have a great week,

Mr. Kuhel
