Thank you everyone for coming in to conferences! I appreciate having the opportunity to sit down and discuss each student's progress and goals for the upcoming quarter. As always, if any questions arise, please do not hesitate to contact me either through a call, note, or before or after school.
For the last spelling unit, I gave the students two weeks to study and complete activities with the words. As the words have grown more challenging, I am going to continue to do this, so they will have a test every other week. This week, though, the words will be vocabulary words from How to Eat Fried Worms. The students will take a pre-test on Wednesday and write their own list of words down in their assignment notebook. They will then complete spelling contract activities of their choice that week, and the following week will complete sheets from the vocab packet. The test will be on Friday, November 19.
Our Day of the Dead celebration was very successful! The altars looked beautiful, and I know that the students enjoyed sharing their own ofrendas and paragraphs, and looking at the ones created by other students. Our project was featured in the parish bulletin this Sunday, too.
Our art classes, sponsored by Big Shoulders, have sadly come to an end. The students' projects look wonderful, and they will be bringing them home soon to show you (as soon as I'm done displaying them for the rest of the school to see).
