Parent Teacher Conferences
I've enclosed the link below for sign ups. If you think that you are good at this time, and you do not want a conference, that is okay too. If none of these times work for you, and you'd like a phone call, just drop me a line and let me know when to call. I will be as flexible as possible with this conference. If you decide you need one at a later time than February 8-9, I'm okay with that as well.
Speaking Subject-ively
Our Week In Math
Yay, measurement!!!!!! We have discussed customary (imperial) units versus the metric system this week. We've also dabbled in conversions, but we will hit that hard next week.
Our Week In Science
We are currently working on creating public service announcements to preserve our natural resources. I can't wait to share out the links. They look awesome.
Our Week In Reading
Poetry and figurative language invaded the room like battleships this week. We've had a lot of fun being hyperbolic.
Our Week In Social Studies
We are currently studying about Stephen F. Austin's Old 300 this week. The revolution is coming quick. We have also completed our San Saba Mission project.
Our Week In Word Work
We are looking at pre-fixes and suffixes this week.
Our Week In Writing
We have concentrated on fleshing out paragraphs this week. We are using the FEED (Fact, Example, Experience, Detail, Opinion Optional) strategy to make sure our paragraphs are top notch.
