Thanks to my all my students who helped me prepare for my talk, Sharing Stories, Becoming Storytellers, for the K12 Online Conference. You can find a preview of the talk on my teacher blog, Educational Alchemy.
Thanks to everybody who came for their student involved conferences last week. If you were unable to attend, please contact Mr. McGaughey to schedule another time.
We will be having a school assembly on Friday November 25 at 1:40pm.
This is the last full week to work on your points project. Final due date is November 29. Our December unit will be a novel study. Over the course of this week, I will work with both my Junior and Intermediate groups to choose a novel, and determine which activities will help us to cover the expectations of the English and Arts curriculum for their grade. We will begin the novel study on November 29.
Math this week: We are continuing to work on our patterning unit. Math tests for this unit will be around the end of November.
