Day 161 of week 35
The last week of testing began today. So we found a balance between moving on and reviewing a few skills.
We started the day off with circle-time. Students shared how they spoiled their mom and/or grandma(s) for Mother’s Day. In theory you received the wordle Mother’s Day card and the bookmark this weekend. It is funny how many kids shared that one of their gifts that they gave mom was “some peace and quiet” or “let mom relax with her own thoughts and no interruptions.” We then shared a discussion regarding manners. Students shared what were their some of the “big and important” manners at their individual homes. Students shared out:
listening, thank you & please, chewing w/ your mouth closed and dressing based upon the situation.
Students then shared which states and capitals have been giving them the most trouble when they study. The Carolinas, the “whole East Coast” and the Dakotas were the top responses.
We then read more on Seaman. In today’s reading the group is struggling to make it through the great Rocky Mountains and food is starting to get low. The group is getting desperate and they have started eating candles, their horses and stone soup.
We then watched some of the Lewis and Clark dvd and we saw the Corp survive the mountains, just barely and meet up with the Nez Perce Indians.
Math -- we reviewed questions that had to do with percentages, converting fractions into decimals/%’s and adding fractions.
Students then had P.E.
We ended the day completing some paperwork for Wells administration, discussing how the class average for the first states & capitals test was an 82% and getting ready for the week. Students scoring 80% or below are to have their parents sign and return their states and capitals test results. Once again it is just a matter of dedicating time to memorizing the states/capitals as the class average was 82%.
Reminder that at 6:30 p.m. tonight you can meet with our district administrators and have a say in the skills and attributes that our next principal with all have. The meeting will be taking place either in the M.P. room or room A-9. The letter our son/daughter brought home on Friday afternoon has all of the details.
