Help!
I seem to be saying that a lot lately, but here I am again asking for help! We need to have a couple of people volunteer to decorate our door for the week of March 2nd, which is Dr. Seuss’s birthday. The door may be as creative as you please, with appeal to the kids and those around them. The kids will be the ones voting for their favorite and it will win the Door Decorating Contest! If you are interested, please let me know!
Upcoming Classroom Activities
We have started movies in MovieMaker and it will be so fun to see the completed projects. We are also starting book clubs where the students are in small groups reading novels. They will have assignments within these groups and will meet with me regularly to discuss what is happening with their novels. At the end of the unit, the students will be producing a digital book report at school using Keynote ( a presentation software). This should be a very worthwhile unit as the student learn to work within a group, use a new program and hopefully enjoy some great literature.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences are this Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30 I would love to meet with as many parents as I can. If you would like to meet with me, please email me and I will set an appointment with you. Please note, at this point in time, we are beginning to collect data and information concerning placement in the advanced class for next year. I can not tell you if your child will or will not be recommended for the advanced class until after all of this data is collected from all 5 classes. Please do not ask me for this information at this time. As soon as all data is collected, the administration will be contacting the parents of the students on the list.
