Game and Celebration

On Friday we played Jeopardy as part of the math review. Most of the students did very well and showed they are ready for the chapter 1 test. We will review for a few minutes and then take our test. The students are well prepared to get great scores. If they have questions, they will get a chance to ask them on Monday.

We also had a classroom celebration because we finished our first writing piece of the school year. The students picked one memory from their home map and told the class the story in written form. We had some great stories! You will see the grades listed on the writing piece as Apps (Applications: How well they got their ideas across using details and description, among other things) and Conv (Conventions: Spelling, Capitalization, Punctuation, Grammar). As the year goes on and we get more involved with each topic, the grading will become more difficult. One of the games we played was music freeze. I think the students were excited to move around the room. Keep up the good work room 209.
