Happy Friday everyone!
We had a very busy morning learning about the writing process, tools that scientists use, and working with numbers.
HOMEWORK for the weekend:
1) Math p. 3-4. We worked together on some questions on page 3 already.
2) Journeys p. 5
We will have spelling tests on Fridays, and the first one is next Friday, August 21, so they can start practicing. Here are the spelling words: fine, proud, worry, soar, ruler, lunch, thing, smell, class, gift
During ECA, I showed the students the process of homework corrections. When I mark the homework, I will use a red pen to make any corrections, and circle the page number to show that work needs to be done. The student must erase the mistakes and make the corrections and show me the changes. If it is all complete, I will put a big check in blue or black pen to show that I have checked it again.
Next week, the students will be able to redeem their Dojo points for some rewards. Please stay tuned to find out what they are working towards. Also, I will start to be giving many more red Dojo points for things student need to work on. I've been a little lenient this week and mainly giving only green points. The class has been very wonderful though, but I just wanted to let you know, so don't be alarmed when your boy/girl receives a green and a red Dojo point. If it is something that is serious, I will let you know.
I believe that is enough for today. It was been an amazing first week getting to know all the students, and meeting some parents. This school has such an amazing positive environment, and I know that I will have a great year teaching here.
Reminder - next Saturday, August 22, will be the parent teacher meeting in the morning. I will provide more details next week.
I hope you all have a great weekend!!
Mr. Yaremchuk
