Wednesday...one more day until our trip!

Today was a great day, lots got done and the morning was BEAUTIFUL!

We began the day with our Awesome, which was totally about the nostalgia of the smell and sound of a campfire.  We all had memories of Camp Kearney (me included) and remembered what it smelled, felt and sounded like.  Math we continued review on Multiplication and Long Division.  I handed out some practice drills and students were offered extra help.  Tomorrow there is a quiz so study if you have to...and practice if you can!

I am happy to report that tomorrow will be the last day of CAT 4 testing!  It's all over tomorrow.  We did the calculation and estimation portion and many of you worked well, so congrats to you! BRING A CALCULATOR FOR TOMORROW! We are doing the Mathematics portion of the workbook so you need to be prepared. 

The rest of the morning was spent doing poem work, quotes for our film and silent reading.  The poems are really looking great. If you didn't hand it in today you need to do it tomorrow AM- FIRST THING!!

After lunch we picked our Student of the Month criteria and it was a great discussion.  Our characteristics are: RESPECT, GOOD FRIEND & GREAT ATTITUDE.  Good luck on picking your person, it's going to be interesting. 

You all had gym with Mrs. Nicholson and it seems like you had fun.  Also you had French and there is no homework. 

At the end of the day we deconstructed the LEARNING SKILLS that are going to be on the first Progress report and what they mean to you and to me.  We are setting up expectations to work towards and I can see that you all take your school work seriously.  We ended on a positive note and it was a great day!
