Wednesday #163 2012-2013

12 school days later...I return.
Now Day 163 of week 37

Since I last made an official posting we have gone off to camp for four days, we completed state testing and we have worked many in-class hours on our Famous American reports!!!

Biggest news:  Open House is tomorrow from 6:30-7:30

You may come and see all of the great technology projects we have been working on and also some of the great learning that has transpired during our time in Room C-5 this school year.  I also hope to have many photos from our Outdoor Education Adventure.  

Monday -- you can ask your students to show you what we worked on since I emailed them a copy of the sub plan.  I figured they would benefit from knowing first hand what was asked of them.

Tuesday-- the walk to Wells and the 2nd states and capitals test.  I believe their scores are on Engrade in the social studies section.  We had 25 of the 29 students score 85% or greater on test #2.  That is a reflection of hours of practice!!

Today -- more math, more CNN Students (its back now that testing is all over), more working on their Famous American report, and a finishing their self-presentation for Open House.

Thank you for the Teacher Appreciation gift today.  Everyone’s generosity is truly valued.  This year is a special collection of hard working achievers who most importantly have real big hearts.  So to earn the respect and approval from the parents that help create such well-rounded respectful students does mean a lot.  

Kind Regards,
Mr. Hubbard
