In the afternoons, we have been working on a Humanity World. We created a paper mache globe, and will be gluing different pictures of things that matter with people around the world. I hope your students can be able to tell you some interesting things about the world around them as well as realize the great quality of life they have here compared to many others in other countries.
Ask your students about the game of Life we are "playing" in Math class. Each student has been assigned a career and salary, and they get paid every two weeks, are responsible for bills for housing, utilities, car payments, and daily life. They seem to be enjoying it and realize how important responsibility is when they get to be a grown-up.
Next week we will be back to the normal schedule of activities, so plan on homework again every night. This week they received a well deserved homework-free week so they could save all their brain power for the lengthy tests they take every day. Our normal schedule includes: Writing, Math, Reading, Social Studies, Science, Vocabulary, and Centers.
Don't forget there is NO SCHOOL April 21 - 25 for Easter break. Have a great break and let your minds and bodies take a much needed rest.
