I hope all of you enjoyed the nice long break. Today, we spent some time discussing what everybody did over the break and it seemed like you were able to do lots of fun things with friends and family. I wanted to take a moment and thank those who sent in a gift. I felt so loved and am so incredibly thankful for each and every one of you! I hope your kids enjoyed our Winter party celebrating their successes in ST Math. Also thank you for all the wonderful treats you brought in!
We have also switched to a new behavior mange to system. This hold the students more accountable for their choices. The reason why is the student will either "clip up" or "clip down" based on their choices. If a student is not following the expectations then they will be asked to "clip down" and if they are doing amazing they will be asked to "clip up". If a student clips down once they are on the "think about it" section. If a student clips down twice "teacher choice" and three times "patent contact". If a student is one "teacher choice" it could be anything from lunch detention, no partner work, no computer, and others. Pleas email me if you have any other questions.
Math: Today we spent a majority of out math time reviewing all previous content taught. The students did great and each day we will continue to review. However this weeks main focus is area and perimeter. Today we learned area and perimeter will be taught on Wednesday. There will be a short quiz on Friday.
