Alright, the kids tackled the first half of the STAR math assessment this morning and whipped right through it. I heard a few grumbles of "this is easy stuff". Those the words that dreams are made of, especially being that math has been a hurdle for a good number of students this year.
We spent some time mapping plate movements over the past few billion years and looked at the original supercontinent, Pangea. Students may have taken the mapping packet home to complete it, and then use the map to answer questions of page WB85 of their science packets.
As many students are actually procrastinating, I allowed computer time for research on WWII subject matter. These reports are due in less than two weeks, so it was a bummer to learn that many students are slacking with their responsibilities.
I do want to extend a very gracious thank you to the parents who contributed toward the purchase of a classroom copy of the recent PLANET EARTH series from the Discovery Channel. This is such an amazing series, and I am looking forward to implementing into the classroom curriculum.
Respectfully, Mr. B
