Students got back everything I have graded in the past two weeks today. Reading assessments, social studies tests and packets, science packets, compare and contrast essays and math work. It was a large chuck of papers to send home in a paperclip, but I knew that I wouldn't see the Red Folders again this week if I used them today.
Students were assigned a math pretest tonight to have completed for class tomorrow. It is 12B. We are working on math investigation in class this week which deals with the various forms of graphs. Specifically, we are working with pictographs, bar graphs, line graphs and circle (pie) graphs. Our Math Specialist, Mary Crandall, brought us treats today as each student now has a dry erase board to use during math. We do not have erasers for the students and I am asking that each student bring a sock to school to use as an eraser. The ones whose mates are lost in the wash make ideal candidates.
Holy cow, the pizza reports are turning out great! The class was awesome today presenting what they read and learned from their book selections. The class was also a great audience as we went through an hour and a half of reports! The remainder of our students will present tomorrow morning.
Students also received a Reading Log today that covers the winter break. A good chunk of the class requested assignments other than reading for the break, so I will honor their wishes and offer social studies and science extra credit opportunities that will go home on Wednesday. I will also prepare a math packet for everyone so that they can keep up with the skills we have covered thus far.
Have a great week, Mr. B
