Friday

Our Hour of Code on Wednesday went really well. Some of the students have already started on the Khan Academy lessons for coding. Some are just reviewing the first lesson to relearn the information. I really would like to use the Khan Academy for all students to help them in the areas they are weak. If you will send me permission, I will put your child in my class. Thursday we learned about adding fractions and Friday we learned how to do word problems with fractions. Students needed to understand which information was necessary. We took reading and spelling tests today and started on our first, "A Christmas Carol" movie. Unfortunately the school Internet did not cooperate. We will be comparing the movies to the book, which is a skill listed under the common core to compare and contrast.

The Christmas program is next Friday at 1:30 in the auditorium You are invited to watch your child in this activity. It is a good idea to arrive early as last year there was standing room only. Also Scrooge is being presented in Preston tonight.
