I am eager to get back and to get into the swing of things. I am missing all my kids and can't wait to see each and every one of you. The end of the 1st semester is quickly approaching (January 14th) and then we are on to the final semester of 4th grade. It is amazing at how fast the year is going and we have lots to do to get ready for 5th grade.
Students had the opportunity before break to spend their fake money as we are starting over for the new year. They will get a new wallet and $300 on Monday. Earning & spending money will remain the same.
As I mentioned before break that our nightly writing format is going to change. We are going to be spending more time working on grammar and editing so students will be doing that for nightly writing. They will have a short paragraph that we will staple into their nightly writing notebooks and they will have to rewrite it correcting all the errors and then we will check and discuss it the next day at school. These are a mandatory assignment and will be graded on a daily basis.
New book clubs will begin again in my reading block. We will be adding some new elements into those to help with our book discussions.
Have a great night and enjoy the last few hours of break.
