It seems that we are off to a wonderful start this year. Don't forget that tomorrow is our family night, September 22nd, from 3:00 to 6:00. It will be an opportunity for you to come in and see our progress so far this year. Our class just finished ratifying our class constitution so please join us tomorrow night.
So far this year we have built a strong sense of class community. This is reflected in both social and academic areas of the classroom. Academically, we are learning the concepts of multiple drafts and the need to receive kind, helpful, and specific feedback from our classmates. Students are learning the value of taking pride in our work and not just finishing for the sake of getting it done. You can see this in the improvement in our many drafts and work presented in the classroom.
Tomorrow we are going to begin a mini-project, mapping the school grounds. This project will incorporate many math skills such as area, perimeter, and scale. The final product will be used for emergency procedures as well as a general map for visitors for the school. I can't wait to share more purposeful learning with you all tomorrow night.
