Fabulous Friday!



Our Child of the Day, Nicholas, read Oliver Button is a Sissy. He chose this book because he does not like it when people call others names. That's the way to be, Nick! Listen later tonight or tomorrow when I load his video reading the book. He did a great job!

We finished our synthesis of Jabberwocky. We listened to music from Through the Looking Glass, where in the song of Jabberwocky, it's asked: Do You Comprehend? Yes we did! Great Job everyone, but the most important thing they learned is that reading is about making meaning, not just sounding good when you read or reading all the words. A real reader understands.

We spent the rest of the morning finishing up our non fiction reports. I look forward to reading them this weekend.

In math, I filmed the class as they practiced their understanding of place value. Look for that later tonight or tomorrow on this blog! They were great!

Juniors took a Unit 9 checking progress and seniors worked on area and geometry.

Have a great weekend and Happy Mothers Day! I hope you enjoy their gifts.
