Tomorrow will be an interesting day. For the last month students have been earning $5/day in 4b money for their jobs. They have lost money for specific infractions. But we have struggled with behavior issues. So today, every time a student didn't follow instructions I warned, "Tomorrow you will lose $5 or $10 for that." And tomorrow, they will. We cannot learn when students are not involved in learning. Tomorrow, not being involved will be expensive.. I hope they will learn what is acceptable in 4th grade.
Today we learned about words that signal time order. Then we had our spelling test. Finally,students worked on their writing pages. In math we started working on word problems, that is always a little exciting. Then, in the afternoon we learned about timelines. Each student made their own. We talked about the purpose of learning history which is to teach us what works and what does not. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Then the students went to music.
Book orders will be sent in on October 8th, which is next Tuesday. Please make sure all orders are in by that date.
