Winter Wonderland

Looks like we have another snow day tomorrow! I hope everyone has been enjoying the unexpected break and has stayed warm and safe.

In the event of snow, you don't have to do the work on our weekly schedule independently. We will pick up where we left off when we come back. A few lessons will be combined and/or shortened, but we'll still address the state standards. I will do my best to make sure we don't have to sacrifice labs or videos, as I know the students look forward to those supplemental activities.

When we get back to school, we will be working toward finishing Sarah, Plain and Tall, drafting our persuasive essays, trucking along in our math tribes, wrapping up our weather and water unit in science, and learning more about Colonial America. I haven't forgotten the Salem video I promised to show you! :) As much as we need the time for work, I'll still let you all have a video day in social studies.

News flash: Ms. Worley and I will begin team teaching this week. Each Friday from 2:00-2:45 we will teach one of the classes a special creative writing workshop. We will alternate classes each week. The class not having writing workshop will be supervised by Ms. Debbie or Ms. Betsy and will be given that time as a study hall. We are looking forward to reading your writing!
