The holidays are upon us! I hope you are all ready for turkey and shopping. I know I am...but first we have to get through two days of school!
This week in math we are learning about common denominators of fractions. Mr. Koerner will begin sitting in on class to see where we are in the curriculum and what procedures I use for homework, instruction, review, etc. He will take over next week when I leave.
This week in writing students will finish their persuasive dialogue writing pieces and share those with the class on Tuesday. This means that papers should be completed when they come to school on Tuesday. Due to the short week there will be no spelling list this week.
Remember that next week students will be taking their MAPS test in Reading Tuesday morning and their MAPS math test the following Tuesday morning. I will go over students previous scores and set goals with them this week. Please make sure your students get a good breakfast and encouraging word on their way out the door on these days.
I plan to return to school Monday, Nov. 30th and then be on maternity leave Tuesday, Dec 1 through January 19. I will try to keep my blog updated while I am away and send out email reminders when I do. If you are not receiving these email reminders please let me know and I will add you to the list.
I promised the students I would post pictures of the new baby on the blog, so look for those Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
