Tuesday, #54 2012 2013 (11/13/12)

Day 54 of Week 14 in the school year.......

It is a short week this week.
Monday was a holiday to honor our veterans.
Tuesday -- regular
Wednesday --- the day ends at 2:06 because of conferences
Thursday --- the day ends at 2:06 because of conferences
Friday -- no school for the kids

Therefore the homework will be light.  I have pleaded with the students to read for enjoyment and work on www.ixl.com.   The next three to four chapters will focus on fractions and building up practice with fraction work that www.ixl.com does a great job of offering will be super beneficial.

Thursday’s friendship soup and our chance to give thanks to our friends, family and school.
Miss Sandy is also rotisserize a turkey so there will be some turkey.  Another family is bringing rolls.  This will all take place at 1:10’ish through 2:00.  We will share out what we are thankful for, enjoy the soup that our mini-community combined and created while also preparing to take a hard earned week off.   You are welcome to join us in our celebration.

  • If your child is not a big fan of vegetable soup and/or turkey, they should still bring a light lunch for 12:30-1:10.  We don’t want anyone starving that day.
  • Now if your child is a big fan of soup, there will definitely be enough soup.  Heck they can bring tupperware and bring some home.  So then possibly don’t overload them with a huge lunch.

Today’s happenings:
Technology Tuesday for many of the students.
We heard the feedback from PFC meeting and the students practiced for 20 minutes on Mavis Beacon typing software.  We will continue to create time for the 20 minutes of typing practice every week.
Here is the game plan we followed.  

For the students that our hosting their student led conferences today and early tomorrow morning, they were given 60 minutes to assess their graded materials, read through their report card and then create two school related goals and a character attribute goal.    Every student will be given one hour to prepare and plan for their student led meeting.  Therefore other students are strongly encouraged to bring a book(s) of their choosing so they can read for enjoyment while others prepare for that day’s conference.

Math:
Fractions are officially in the house!!
For the next three to four weeks it all about fractions.  
Here are the notes from today.

After math, we wrote down the homework for the week.

Then the students rotated to science and then math/art.

Kind regards,
Mr. Hubbard
