The past weeks have seen a lot of action. One action filled day was yesterday, our first winter fitness fun day of the year! This was a resounding success, as I chatted with students this morning nearly all had glowing reports, and we still have 4 more of these days to look forward to! We had students who had never skated before gliding on the ice, and kids enjoyed beautiful ski conditions at Bolton, while some nordic skied at Morse Farm, and still others enjoyed sledding and snow games here at school!
We also have been working hard in our classroom. We are in the midst of an informational writing unit, and are creating some books about Vermont. We have worked hard this week on adding stories and elaborated text to our writing, rather than just presenting a "dry toast" piece of writing rich with only facts.
Dividend, divisor, and quotient have been our words of the week! We are working with division and understanding and identifying these parts of a division expression are terribly important. For a refresher (if you need one) check with your student and they will fill you in about which is which.
We are looking forward to another fantastic week next week, and please remember that there is no school for students on Monday and Tuesday. If you need to contact me, please feel free anytime, and as always, enjoy your weekend!
