Working in groups, students began to act our one of the turning point scenes in Bud Not Buddy. This assignment is a great opportunity for students to work together to accomplish something meaningful. My class seems to be having a lot of fun while practicing their scenes and what I have seen so far has been worthwhile.
In social studies, we continued our explorer baseball cards. Students have been compiling resources and collecting as much information as they can about their explorer. This is a project that will continue into next week and I look forward to working with my class over the course of the next few days to further this goal. I continue to encourage all of my students to take the initiative and to complete some research or work on this project at home.
Homework
Math - THIRD page in math packet
Tenmarks: assignment due on Friday 1/8
I continue to advise my students that this site offers both hints and videos to help if they become stuck on a problem. These assignments are meant to serve as a challenge, as such students should have some scrap paper and a pencil with them as they work to do their figuring. Students should also take advantage of the hints and videos that accompany each problem.
Reading - fill out reading log on nightly basis.
blog post: Write about a book that you read over the winter vacation. Give a summary of the book and tell what you enjoyed about it. Should be 2 paragraphs in length and is due on Friday 1/9
Social Studies - today, students were assigned a report on an European explorer. I am asking all students to compile some additional research at home to better help them complete this ongoing assignment in class. If students are able to go to the library to obtain additional resources that would be great.
