Most of last week we still had almost half of class out sick again. The students in attendance continued to press forward in our curriculum in preparation for MAP testing this week. We will be testing on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, so please make sure your child is well rested and on time those days.
Wednesday will be our 100th day of school and we will celebrate during our math class that day for 100 minutes. Many of the activities I have planned are math related, and will incorporate cooperative learning strategies.
The end of the month will be on Thursday, and we will start the day with the Student of the Month assembly. It is wonderful to recognize the achievements of so many students at Tok School. On Thursday, the district Spelling Bee will start at 10am, and we have three students interested in competing.
In Social Studies last week, we focused on the changes brought about by the civil rights movement, and the inspiring leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr. The students in attendance also made a replica of themselves with and inspiring statement to put up on an "Inspiration Wall" in our classroom. We still need to find time for the students that were absent to add their encouraging words.
Kind Regards,
Julie Brown
