Great Things I Noticed this Week:
- Students working together in partners on challenging multi-step math word problems.
- Students discussing a topic using TodaysMeet.com
- Students starting blogging and learning about digital citizenship.
Upcoming Events:
Today - 1st Quarter Dodgeland Pride Assembly at 2:15. Please start coming down at 2:10 so we can be ready to start at 2:15. Please also remind your students how to behave in the assembly.
Monday/Tuesday - I know that next week is an incredibly short week, but please keep in mind that the more you stray from the normal routine the more crazy your students will get (and they already will be knowing it's a short week). Here's a reflective teacher's post on why to Not Show Movies Before a Break.
Dec 2-6 - Cereal Drive -please encourage students (that are able to) to bring in boxes of cereal that we will donate to the Reeseville food pantry.
Dec 4 - Mrs. Bartlett will be bringing any student Christmas ornaments to the Juneau Public Library for our school tree.
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Last year we discusses branching our bucket filling out to the community. I'm working with Clearview for this opportunity for 2nd-5th grade students. I am planning to have two days in December-one day for students to stay after school one day to make Christmas cards and practice singing carols. The next week after school we will go to Clearview to deliver cards and sing our Christmas Carols. The tentative dates for these (and will be confirmed by Tuesday) are: Monday, December 16 and Wednesday, December 18. Please let me know if you would be interested in helping out with either of these days.
Blogs, Pins & Tweets...Oh My!
