Friday

I hope to have the spelling and reading test corrected by Monday. We learned more about recognizing patterns in math today. We practiced a few easy patterns, and then one that was a little more difficult. Students have to recognize the pattern, then they have to put in words what the pattern is. That is hard for many of them.

We re-arranged seats today. I am hoping it will help students stay on task. We also watched the movie, "Cipher in the Snow." We discussed bullying, and what we can do to help ourselves to not become a cipher. We also talked about helping others to feel important. Finally, we went to an assembly in the auditorium. This year we will be encouraging students to read at least 20 AR points per trimester. There will be a fun activity for those who accomplish this goal. We also began to learn the school song for the year, Neil Diamond's, "Their Coming to America." Each class is representing a state, ours is California.
