One of the reasons for not too exciting blog entries the last couple entries is that we've been working hard to complete projects. The satisfaction from publishing a piece of writing, completing a state brochure or finally learning all fifty states is so tangible--but it takes persistence and focus on both the student's and teacher's part. Sometimes when we're 'in progress', there's not too much to report.
The goal by tomorrow (Tuesday) before we leave for Thanksgiving Break is for each student to publish their second piece of writing and finish their state report. When we return, we're excited to learn about Lewis and Clark, create a seed/plant book and begin our first reading groups (which will be based on a choice of four books that I'll post on the blog tomorrow).
As we complete these projects and begin new ones, we should pause and be thankful (it's Thanksgiving after all) for all the wonderful learning and growth that's been happening!
Homework for tonight is to:
1. Read for thirty minutes (no reading log)
2. Fourth grade math
(No spelling since it's a short week...)
Have a good night!
