Students continue to dig deeper into Bud Not Buddy. Our class discussion today focused on the conclusion of chapter one. Students have been using sticky notes to focus their reading and they have been picking up on important themes and character developments. We looked at the importance of family today and some important phrases that repeated throughout the chapter.

In math, students continued to work on order of operation problems. Students have been dealing with some challenging work that includes exponents. Progress is being made on a daily basis and I love seeing so many hard workers in room 312. Even if at first, things are a little confusing, my class does not give up.

I also wanted to pay tribute to my class on our website for the praise that was paid to them today. During morning announcements, Mr. Allen's class was singled out for their quiet, respectful lines. Keep up the good work.

My class has also being doing a great job making the morning announcements over the speaker in the morning from the principal's office.

I will see everyone tomorrow.
