New Year = New Plan

As we all settle back into the regularity and agenda of school being back in session I'd like to remind everyone that as of tomorrow January 5th:

THERE ARE ONLY 34 SCHOOL DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE ISAT

That means every moment, every second of school time is valuable. We can not spend a moment of the New Year without a clear purpose.

I'll be devoting the blog from now on to weekly goals and expectations. That way you can know ahead of time what the week will look like.

For the week of Jan 5 - Jan 9:

In ELA- We'll be working on synonyms and antonyms, the structure of texts, identifying an author's purpose, comparing characters, plots, and themes, making inferences, and persuasive writing.

In Math - Interior angles of regular and non-regular polygons, exterior angles, Building triangles, we'll also have an investigative test for section 3.

In Social Studies - We're back to the O Ambassadors program where we'll focus on health care.

In Science - we will return to gravity and the possibility of life on other planets.

Good News! The December winning group will have lunch with me on Friday, I'll be ordering Indian food for you to sample.

January brings a new seating chart, jobs, and expectations, look forward to details in class.
