| Friday's buddy day--Anika builds Jenga block structures with her buddy |
I am not sure if it was the dance video, perspective pieces, but this blog received a record number of views yesterday--forty one. Moving from an average of around four hits in September to around twenty or so now shows that parents are starting to use the blog as a tool to see what students have been doing in class (and to get homework copies). It's nice to know there's an audience and more impetus to spend time posting and participating in this type of communication. I'll try to continue to post student work examples and things like this. However, because of the number of visits, Dropbox, the online server used to store files, has been temporarily disabled. I'm trying to find a way around this problem, but I wanted to let you know why the links are inactive. (If you have any suggestions around this, please e-mail me). We'll try to figure out a solution soon.
Now for a quick Friday update:
Of all the days of the week, students tend to love Fridays. The day begins with a CerritoBerry meeting. As guests at Cerrito this morning, classes updated each other about what was learned during the week, sang a Bob Marley song "Three Little Birds" and ended with everyone's favorite song "Fifty Nifty United States." Students love rattling off those states! Next, we played with buddies, stuffed Friday Folders, created art with Julianne, took a spelling test, and finished the day with choices and Talent Friday.

Your child will bring their Friday Folder home today. Please find some time this weekend to look it over with your child. I gave some of you student work during conferences, too. After you meet, keep the work and send the folder back to school with your child.
Next week we're looking forward to beginning Botany and creating U.S. state brochures.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Jed
