Hey everyone. I have missed my weekly updates. The past two weeks have been so hectic. My experience at the Ron Clark Academy was something I will treasure for the rest of my teaching career. I learned so many valuable things there, and cannot wait to start using them in our room. My fiance's surgery went well this past week. Thank you so much for all the kind words and thoughts. I am hoping I won't have to miss any school for a while. I have to say though, I was very happy with note I got from the sub. I think they are finally getting it.
Over the last two weeks, we have spent a lot of time working on our division strategies. We finally have learned all of them. Hopefully these strategies will help the girls better understand long division. We had benchmark testing last week and this week. Because of this, we will not be starting anything new. We will just review everything we have learned so far. In reading, we decided not to read Ruby Holler instead we read Titanic Sinks. We are starting Where the Red Fern Grows next. Your daughters have been working really hard on their Underground Railroad narrative writing pieces. Their final drafts are due next Monday. They can be written or typed. In social studies, we are finishing the Civil War are moving on to the reconstruction of the United States. Since I know your girls love facebook so much, they are creating a facebook profiles of an important person in the Civil War. It's a really cool page. You can check it out. It's www.classtools.net/fb/home/page. We will be doing these throughout the year during different units.
Thank you so much for helping me schedule conference week. Just a reminder, conference week is next week, October 22-26. It will be early release all week. You daughters will be dismissed at 12:15. If their transportation home is going to change, please let me know ASAP. I am so excited to meet with all of you next week!!
We have not had any birthdays in our room.
Have a wonderful week!
