HomeroomThis week the big event in homeroom was starting the process for planning the next middle school social event. Students volunteered to form the party planning committee and are starting to brainstorm the event during lunch. The next social event will be on Dec. 5th. We also resumed our OWL lessons this week. We're about to wrap up the first workshop. What's Coming Up in OWLWe're going to wrap up the first workshop next week and move on to the second. We had a lot of great conversations on what our values our during this workshop and what it means to be a good friend. As we move on to the next unit please take some time to do the second HomeLink at home. The next unit is going to focus on images in popular culture. MathMonday: Book Work Time Tuesday: Word Problem #9 Wednesday: Number Talk #2. We used this Number Talk to focus on how to break apart multiplication problems into smaller problems to be able to do them in our heads. Thursday: Progress Check and Conferences Friday: Game Day! Project TimeThis week we spent some more time learning about different people in history and discussing why their stories aren't told. Here are the people we learned about this week.
We ended the week with students selecting and researching a specific person involved with the economy or trade. They'll be using this research to give a short 2 minute speech on the person they chose to research. Questions to Ask Your ChildIn this section I'll try and give you a few questions to ask your kids to see what they learned this week or some of the ideas they were forming.
