Week ending 10/14/16

There's no official blog this week as I don't typically write a full one on weeks when we've missed multiple days...but...a few important pieces of information:

• Don't forget to sign up for Fall conferences.  (See the link in a previous post.)
• We will be starting homework the week of Halloween.  On Halloween, students will have homework but we will be completing in class that day as part of our "Getting ready for homework at home routine" (so they will not have any at night).  
• We are spending some time at the end of the day on Fridays to talk about social issues, feelings, respect, helping, being kind, making mistakes, stretching their brain, and many more.  We will listen to read aloud about different topics, brainstorm, work together, and learn so much about each other.  Today, we talked about kindness!  We did a kindness brainstorm where students shared their ideas of kindness with the class.  We also watched the video again that was shown at the all school meeting last week about kindness.  Here is the video link if you'd like it: https://youtu.be/nwAYpLVyeFU

Here's a picture of our brainstorm so far...it's still a work in progress. :)

Have a great weekend!
