4 more days until winter break!! Not that I am excited or anything! To recap our week, we wrote about how to catch a gingerbread man in writing, and wow, some of the boys in our class are very serious about escaped bakery items! In reading we reviewed homophones and prefixes. In math we continued to talk about geometry and did an interesting word problem activity involving holiday items. We also used geometric shapes to build reindeer! In Social Studies we are talking about map skills and major features in the United States. We had a special guest call in, Mr. Borg! He was taking a business trip to California and called in to tell us where he was and what he could see. He crossed the Mississippi, Rocky Mountains, desert, and many other things. It was great to talk to him and track his trip with the class. It brought the map to life. In Science we continued to learn about the different regions of Georgia. We are learning what plants, animals, and features are in each area. Ask your student what the State Marine Mammal of Georgia is? Overall, another great week of learning for all!
I hope we have a wonderful last 4 days, the students are very restless and ready for a break! We will be reviewing and taking benchmarks all week. My gift to you parents is NO HOMEWORK OR READING LOG OR MULTIPLICATION LOG OR SPELLING!! Please enjoy my gift, but remember to always take the time to use teaching experiences with the students when they present themselves. My two youngest make fun of me because they say I can turn anything into a teaching moment! Always take the time to answer the questions your student has and they will start to love learning!
I appreciate all of you and your help and I am so grateful for your student. With the event that happen in Connecticut this past week I have a heavy heart and it made me realize that you can not take any time or person for granted.
Have a Happy Holiday or Winter Break!
Mrs. Borg
