Ms. Hess's Happenings
We spent time developing our classroom agreements and will share those as soon as they are signed by the class. We worked on developing our classroom "Tribes" - cooperative groups that support each other. We also welcomed our newest friends, the classroom guinea pigs. The class nominated names and will vote on the nominations next week. We also learned the proper procedure to handle our classroom pets, and applied for classroom jobs.
Please see the math technology login information sheets in your child's Friday Folder for IXL and XTRAmath.
