Mid-November Times in Primer
November 16, 2014
Notes from classroom 110
Check out our academic assignments below. My hope is that your child is talking around these concepts. Personally, I know at lunch my conversations this past week have revolved around playing "I spy" with states of matter and compound words. As a teacher this is music to my ears.
On another note, I am pleased to announce that I will carry the EdTech Baton on Tuesday, November 18. Ed Tech Baton is a community-based project, sharing what works with educational technology by featuring a different educator every week day on Instagram. You can follow the action by searching for EdTechBaton on Instagram.
I hope all of you have a wonderful and safe holiday. I must say I am truly grateful for my students and their supporting parents. Thank you for your guidance, support and patience. Enjoy the holiday.
Academics:

I just think the students are going to love it. You can also play this with your child anytime you are waiting in line or in the car. You just need a method to write. Students could do this on an iPad or on paper.
