The Long Stretch
Students have been waiting for this week since the first day of school….the last week before 2 weeks vacation. The last week before they can play video games for 2 weeks…the last week before they can just hang out and not do any school work for 2 weeks…. It’s been talk for days. It’s important to remember to keep reading and writing and working on skills over the 2 week break. Reading for at least 15 minutes every day helps and writing even just in a small journal of what they did that day helps too. Writing grocery lists, things to do lists, or anything simple just helps keep the brain stimulated.
This week we will continue working on everything we have been. We started a new Science unit last week and we will continue it this week and continue it once we get back to school. We are wrapping up our math unit and will take a test this week. In Language Arts we are wrapping up our final How-To writing, and working on characters and main ideas in stories still. We will continue those topics and more topics as we get back from break. In Social Studies we will be wrapping up our unit on Mesopotamia as well. We will have a small quiz on it later this week.
This week we also will be having our PBIS December Reward!! I’m excited to say that all students in the classroom have earned the reward and are excited to participate. They will be doing Minute to Win it Games in the gym. Some may even get to pie a teacher in the face!!
