Dewey-O's
Today we had a high number of students absent. Many of our kids were involved in a Youth Retreat in Charlotte and some were out on family adventures.
In Language Arts we used our eInstruction program to play a Challenge game utilizing the words from our first three Vocabulary Units. This was a huge success. I have been using eInstruction in class for about three years and have never been able to get the Challenge component to work properly. I coordinated a staff development earlier in the semester and finally figured it out. Needless to say the kids LOVED it and we had a great time.
My homeroom was invited to try out a game Mrs. Nichols is developing to teach students how to better use the Dewey Decimal System this afternoon. We were the first group to try it out and the kids really enjoyed the activity. I feel like they might have learned a great deal also. To be asked to participate in something like this is an honor and a testimony to how well behaved the kids can be. Special thanks to Mrs. Nichols and her assistants for sharing with us!
I close today wishing everyone a very enjoyable weekend. For some Monday is a day of reckoning as Report Cards will be going home. Others in my classes are already planning exactly how they are going to be spending all of their hard earned wealth from doing so well academically.

I think the name Dewey-O's is a wierd name. I think we should call it Cheerios instead.
