As far as subjects go, our schedule has been thrown out the window for the last little while and, while I am desperately trying to hold on to a few academic subjects, it has been a challenge to have us all in the room at the same time. Social Studies and Science have been wrapped up until the new year (those are the two subjects that Mrs. Erichuk and I switch classes for and the schedules have just been too hectic). We will be doing a lot of Fine Arts over the last few days of 2010 but I am also trying to push on with Math, Reading, Writing and HACE. We are just finishing with prime/composite numbers and will be doing factor trees in Math. Our novel is just about done and it is getting harder to put it down as it comes to a close. In Writing we have been looking at putting 'voice' into what we write to make a piece of work uniquely ours. For HACE we are still talking about decision making (specifically what choices are available, who or what influences how we make a decision and the possible outcomes). Don't forget about Secret Santa....we will draw names this week and gifts need to be at school by Wednesday, December 15th at the latest. We originally set a price limit of $10 and kids asked if it could be as high as $15. This is an absolutely voluntary event and there is no pressure whatsoever to be involved. Please let me know if you have any concerns......
P.S. There will be no 'spelling city' this week due to Monday being a day off and Wed and Thurs nights occupied with the Christmas concert
Let's take a look at this week:
Monday, December 6 - NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS (teachers are at a workshop)
