Short Post

Not a lot to report today so will be a quick post. Today in Math, we learned a lot more Geometry terms. We learned the 4 kinds of angles and how many degrees each one is and I also introduced the 3 types of lines. Ask your child about all 7 of these and if they can share them with you, write Geometry in the planner. Lead 21 kids are almost done with their Benchmark Assessment. Tomorrow we have the writing piece. They have to write procedural text which means they have to write the steps on how to do/make something. They must have a minimum of 5 steps. Their homework for tonight is to decide what it is they are going to write about so that they can get started right away tomorrow. So ask your child what they are going to write about. In Montana History, we learned what the difference is between Imports & Exports. Ask your child the difference and also discuss with them what the indians imported and what was exported. Write import/export in the planner. Once again, thank you for the generosity shown towards our "empty stocking" collection. I just love how it ties into our word this week of work and how some students are taking the money they earn for helping out family, friends, neighbors, etc. and turning it around and "giving" it back to those in need. What great Random Acts of Kindness. Rachel would be so proud. We have chosen a girl named Renee who is 10 that is our person we are adopting to get the items we purchase for her. We will be collecting until Friday, December 13th. Tomorrow, we will count up how much we have so far. Tomorrow is HE/PE so make sure you have your tennis shoes here. Have a great night.
