Week of January 6th

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.  It was nice to see the kids back at school this morning.  Here is some important information for this week:

I introduced a project to all of the students this morning that we will be starting the 2nd Semester off with.  This is our “How To” project.  Students will be presenting to the class “How To” do anything of their choice.  I am sending home an information sheet with the information about this project.  They are required to discuss what they would like for the topic to be with their parents, write the topic down on the paper, and return it with your signature.  For this project, they can either demonstrate their choice live here at school or they have record it at home and bring in the video.  Along with the demonstration, the students also have to create a PowerPoint in which they will present in front of the class here at school. These presentations are usually very informative and I really enjoy seeing the students show me “How To” do things they are good at.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Before we jump back into our math books, we are going to spend the 4 days this week reviewing material that we covered before break.  Do not expect much if any math homework this week.

There is a spelling test this week.  The students took their pre-test this morning and will be getting their lists today.
