Working Hard
1/17/2020
Some weeks there are no big events, assessments, assemblies or projects to finish. Some weeks we just get our heads down and work. Learning new things and developing our 21st century skills. This week was one such week. The calm before the storm. As next week is MLK Day and Brown Bag. Perseverance and determination are two words to describe how the students were this week as in our core lessons we have started new learning units. Learning new things is hard to do especially when you have just mastered old skills. For Math, we have finished with fractions, decimals and percentages for the moment and are now learning about numbers and measurements. In reading and writing we are exploring reading history and literacy essays and writing fiction. While in science we are conducting a short unit on plate tectonics. This week we also made our treats for our New Year Treats shop, which will have its opening in time for Brown Bag. Our commercials and radio advertisements will also be airing and playing next week. With MLK Day, Brown Bag and the store opening, next week is going to be a busy one! Comments are closed.
