Greetings and Happy Holidays! I hope this finds you all well. We are busy busy in room B-12! Last week in our South Elementary Assembly some of my students modeled how we "Circle Up". If I could have I would have used the entire class to model what we do, but due to time I had just a few. They did such an excellent job of showing kindness to one another, I love these scholars of mine.
All late work is due this Friday, those who are missing assignments will be getting a "missing assignment" print out in their cubby to bring home on Wednesday.
"Twas the Night Before Christmas" poem pass offs may begin when ever your scholar is ready.
Curriculum News:
- Literacy - We are finishing up Unit 2, Middle Ages of Europe, working on T'was the Night Before Christmas, writing, Word Study patterns, small groups, and grammar practice. Scholars will be having a spelling test next week.
- Math - Monday's lesson 6.1, investigating equivalent fractions. Tuesday's lesson 6.2, equivalent fractions. Wednesday's lesson 6.3, simplest form. Thursday's lesson 6.4, common denominators.
