We have been enjoying our first week back from February Break! During this week we have revisited characters in Winn-Dixie, brushed up on some math facts, and focused most of our time on team-building.
We have worked together to move cups with rubber bands and string, build towers out of paper, and lift a very light ball without touching it! This time of year is great for team building. It allows our class to re-coalesce and be ready fro the exciting spring that is ahead!
Speaking of exciting upcoming events on Friday March, 31 we will be having our spring conferences. Spring conferences are a bit different than fall ones as they are student-led. This affords students the time and framework to reflect on their work throughout the year, and present this work to you. For student-led conferences there are generally multiple conferences happening at once. If you would like to have a little private chat with me during this time, it can easily be arranged. Please also note that a sign up form is coming home this afternoon. There is a link to the sign up sheet embedded on the "Conferences" page of our blog. To sign up you can either return the paper copy, or send me an email, and I will get your name on the list (I will keep this list updated throughout the school week).
Have a great weekend!
