Week of September 5th

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! Students went right to work today with a regular schedule, switching classes and having all four subjects. We worked on a globe scavenger hunt in social studies to hone our map skills, and read a readers theater excerpt to talk about close reading and expectations during the ELA block.

Students do have homework this week. We spent time this morning writing in agendas, so that students can use time management to complete their tasks by their due date. Math is given daily, science and current event are due Thursday, and they have one reading log this week due Friday. There is a tab on my blog where current events and reading logs can be printed if they do not find their way home. 

Here are some pictures of the students on task during reading and social studies:
