January 30th - February 3rd

Hello Parents and Students! As some of you may not have known I was stuck in Jury Duty for the last two weeks. Thankfully they selected a jury and I am back to work. It was a very rough two weeks, but I am beyond thrilled to be back to work and with this class. Thank you to all the substitutes we had over those days and special thanks to Mr. Wong for being the sub all last week.

The students were working still on their Wayside School novel unit and we are about a week or two away from finishing that up. Prior to being gone the students all started working on a Project where they either are creating an Animal Shelter or a Mini Golf course. It is a great activity where they are using critical thinking, collaborating, creativity, and communication. In math they were working on Chapter 8 division. In class they have been working on their Book Report. This is an in class assignment that they have been working on for a month now. The students selected a book and got the okay from me to use it in their book report. It could not be a film, tv show, or cartoon series. This is a writing and art book report where they are working on paragraphs and organizing their work.
