It's hard to get into the Christmas spirit when I feel like wearing shorts outside. It's NOT beginning to look a lot like Christmas....yet. It definitely doesn't FEEL like Christmas. But we do still have a couple of weeks until the season is upon us.
Today in class we finished up Unit 3 in our Buckle Down textbooks. We did the spelling lessons and all the practice activities that go along with the lessons. Students did work together as a class and handed in for a participation grade.
Students also turned in their proofreading assignment from yesterday. We graded their Vocab Wb. Less. #16. The vocab quiz is tomorrow.
We also talked about their upcoming 9 weeks test next week. They will work in partners and they will make a Prezi over Similes & Metaphors used in songs. Bonus points will be awarded if at least one of their song choices is a Christmas song. Prezi's are due Monday, Dec. 17th. This will count as their 9 weeks test. I will give them a criteria sheet as to how I will grade their Prezi's.
Good News----Josh came home last Friday!!!! We were so glad and relieved as a class to hear the news. We went outside that day and cheered him and his family on as they drove by the school on their way home. He will be coming to school just a few days a week for part of a day. He has really recovered quickly and is doing quite well considering the extent of his injuries. We need to continue to think and pray for him and his family. He still has quite a few challenges ahead of him. But he is finally home!!!
