Can you believe that it is almost winter break time? I am shocked by how quickly the time has gone by. I am also impressed with how much the children are learning and how they each have become so enthusiastic towards school. Just the other day, they were working on their personal narratives with incredible focus. I told them it was time for lunch and Nathaniel's response was, "No! I want to continue working!" In the morning, we have been working on our computation clinics to improve our basic math skill. In a very short period, many students have increased their multiplication skill immensely. Ask your child if their attitude towards math has changed.
It is such a great feeling watching the students take ownership of their learning and community. Speaking of community, we have been having very productive class council meetings. Every class has its set of issues, and we have been tackling them with kindness and compassion. Students who have been typically shy have been discovering their voice in the our community.
This Friday we are having a winter celebration. If anyone would like to contribute refreshments or snacks, please notify me via email or you can always call. Be expecting a conversation from your child about bringing something yummy to share with the class. During class council, we decided that it would be fun to have pizza too. If everyone brings $5.00 we can order pizza!
