November 11-15, 2013

Student Led Conferences Tuesday Night 4:00- 6:30 PM.


All Grades- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Our Chrome Books (lap tops) are ready to roll and so are we!

Math Facts in a Flash- Two minutes to get 100% on 40 math facts!!! We started with addition and are working our way up!

Accelerated Math- Students work at their own level, determined by the Star Math Test. I select the objectives, students take a diagnostic test. I assign practice based on the diagnostic. Students continue to practice until I see that they are ready to test. Students then test and if successful, they move on to the next objectives. If not more practice.

Seminar

The schedule for Seminar is as follows:

Students watch CNN Student News. We say the Pledge of Allegiance. We discuss the news. Monday through Wednesday students have the rest of the time to use for homework, getting extra help from teachers, or silent reading. Thursdays we have been focusing on some type of community service. We have decorated bags for the Kids' Food Network, made and sold Rainbow Loom bracelets and sculpty clay pens to benefit the children I do mission work with  every year in the Dominican Republic. Fridays we dance :-). After the news and the Pledge we dance to Just Dance on the projector. Students also earn a sucker if their planner is filled out for the whole week.
