Thursday! We made it!
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -We'll make birthday cards for my daughter for 'RED light' this morning (she turned 12 today). Then we'll do reader's workshop. Our mini lesson will focus on asking ourselves if our books 'engage us'.
Period 2 is writer's workshop. We'll talk about keeping 'side projects' and mixing and matching ideas to help us generate new ones.
Period 3 is gym with Mr. D
Period 4 we'll do the math we never started yesterday (because Mr. Cross kept blabbing on and on). Using mental math to help us add efficiently.
Period 5 we'll use the chromebooks to practise those adding skills with some assignments I set up on Math Prodigy.
Period 6 is Library...a nice calm end to the day.
REMEMBER- tonight is the open house/BBQ. I'll be here all night, working the BBQ and chatting with parents.
I know it can be awkward and scary meeting your child's teacher for the first time. I've compiled a list of some Do's and Don't so we can skip any awkwardness...
DO: start with 'Hello teacher, thank you for giving my child the gift of knowledge'.
DON'T: start with 'So...how's my child doing in Math?'
DO: say "nice shirt, it makes your arms look huge...have you been working out?'
DON'T: look directly at my braces and call me mean names like 'Brace-face'.
DO: say things like "my kids really enjoys school...all thanks to you. I guess it's true, not all hero's wear capes"
DON'T: say "my hamburger was over cooked...I hope you teach better than you BBQ"
I look forward to seeing you tonight.
