Explorer Fair: Dress Rehearsal

Thank you to everyone who came today to help our "explorers" prepare for their upcoming Explorer Fair in Assembly. Here are a few shots of the students in character!

Explorer Project

Here's a video showing how we learned all about explorers during the Age of Exploration. We visited the La Jolla Library; did research in class with text, internet, and video resources; and made quill pens in art class and used them to write letters on parchment paper. Hope you enjoy a peek at our learning process!

Sumdog

Here's a new way for you to build your math skills!

Check out Sumdog!

When you go to the website, please add it to your bookmarks, so you can find it again quickly and easily.

Once you get there, our school code is gillispie-school and you'll need to type it just like that or copy and paste it from here.

Last, you'll need your own login and password, which you wrote in your planner.

Let me know what you think of Sumdog in the comments.

Explorer Resources

Check out Mr. Nussbaum's list of explorers. Find your explorer, and read about his life. You might even find a video to watch about your explorer!

Happy Exploring!
