For anyone paying attention, you may have noticed I lost track of time mid-November! Actually, I was so busy that I was hoping the assignments would stand on their own. The students are taking increasing responsibility for their work, parental questions are far fewer and, frankly, I hadn't a minute to spare.
As we enter the new trimester, I should be back in stride starting Monday! We will be moving through fractions while continuing to dive into graphs and how to read them. At the end of the fall trimester we had an amazing election for the next mayor of Slugville. The students wrote campaign speeches in partnerships that highlighted various interpretations of the central tendencies. Carl, Mr. Peters, Mrs. Price, and Ms. Guz all attended the presentations and voted on who should be hired for the task. If you haven't heard about it, please ask your child, because the speeches were quite impressive.
I hope your Thanksgiving break was both busy and restful while being full of family.
Mo ;-)
