Great Day - Great Kids - Great Accomplishments
Wednesdays are always fun. Our art appreciation journals encourage the students to use an entirely different manner of explaining what they see. The details they pick out and the stories that correspond show their creative nature. Old Friends, by Sandra Rice helped to teach the students the concept of false faces and allowed another discussion of literal and inferential messages. I think I most enjoy the curiosity the students show on Wednesdays and the unusual pictures I find to share with them.
In language arts we created some Memory cards for our vocabulary unit as a way to study for the vocab test and still have some fun. The winner of tomorrow’s classroom contest will receive a 100 on the test and be allowed to enjoy some reading time on Monday when we take the test. I had a couple of late papers to check and grabbed a student’s sheet to check from. I was really impressed with Regan’s 96 on the first vocab unit!
AR is progressing well and some of the students have already raised their original point goals. Aaron Everett has already exceeded his original goal and his new goal and has raised his standard again! Way to go Aaron!
In social studies we checked our Middle East and Oceania maps and are so excited about our African Map Test tomorrow. Isaac and Antwan were extremely proud of themselves for making a 96. They have worked so hard and good things are ahead for people that dedicate themselves to being successful!
