Welcome to our class unit on From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler!
Topics that we will cover in this unit include cause and effect, research and reporting, money and trade, and determining the value of a collection of coins and bills. We will learn about budgeting and transactions through the implementation of a classroom economic system. Students will be “paid” for completing their classroom jobs and displaying acts of kindness and appropriate behavior in the classroom.
This website was created to explain the unit in detail and offer enhanced learning opportunities for students. I will also post examples of activities that we are completing in the classroom to emphasize our content knowledge. March 22nd is the tentative completion date for this unit, but some flexibility will occur because of I-Read and Acuity testing. At the completion of this unit, students will present their final project, which involves the creation of a museum exhibit for our “Classroom Museum.” Students will have time in class to work collaboratively on their project, but it may be necessary to practice their part of the presentation at home.
It is my hope that this unit will be meaningful for students and provide them with an increased understanding of the inter-relational aspects of the academic subjects we teach in class. I hope you enjoy our website!
