We have started some new routines in regards to homework the last couple weeks, I hope that all has gone smoothly at your house! TenMarks.com in math for homework I am loving. I feel like it is a great opportunity for me to check in with the kids who got any problems wrong and actually give more individual attention then I was able to do before. I've even had some kids come to me and say "I didn't get #..." and we can look at it together and go over it. I am going to continue using this, if you have any concerns about it please let me know. In Math class we are almost done with our fraction unit and will be moving on to decimals. The class really seems to have a solid grasp of fractions.
Something else I tried this week, was an ELA packet. It is a review of the concept we are learning in school. I am hoping that the packet due on Thursday will help manage time with all the spring sports that are starting.
Thanks to everyone on your help with the STEM maze projects. We had a lot of fun making them and then remaking them to improve them. There were some great in class collaborations on what would work better and how mazes could be improved. The true design process.
The Voices of the Past project is in full swing. I hope you are enjoying this, I enjoy talking to the kids about the project at check in time. Again if any questions come up please email me.
Until next time!
