Two days and counting until Christmas Break! Looking forward to it as I am sure the students are too. During this time of advent as we wait the coming of Christ our King, I pray that we will wait with contentment. In Philippians 4 Paul reminds us to be content in whatever circumstances we are in. A very pointed and thoughtful reminder for me from our Pastor in his sermon.

Wednesday is our Christmas party. Don't forget your $5 gift for your secret friend!

Complete with balloons, streamers and posters. This afternoon we celebrated with an amazing cake and ice cream - thank you Renee and Maria!

I'm really excited about this opportunity we have as a class to help others who are in need - sharing our blessings with them!

I trust that everyone enjoyed the half-day off on Friday - I sure did! I worked on the students' report cards this weekend and am so excited about the new format! We are generating the report cards electronically. All the information is the same, just a different format. We were actually able to add two new features to the report cards: percentages with the grades and comments for each individual subject instead of an area for general comments. I found that feature very helpful in communicating to you how your child is doing in the specific subjects. Look for the report cards, they are coming home Wednesday (which is also a half day!)

Here is a recap of our day:

Reading - American Dream poster is due tomorrow 11/15 - if it is raining make sure to use a garbage bag to protect it! I would hate for a poster to be ruined after all the work the students have done! We read pages 206-207 and worked on visualizing when reading - using the details and descriptive language to imagine what is happening in the story (don't worry I'm not teaching New Age techniques!) :)

Tuesday, November 8

I apologize for not posting yesterday (Monday). It completely slipped my mind and didn't think of it until late last night. I figured it was a bit of a mute point by then! :) I had the privilege of attending In-Service at Dearborn Public Schools this afternoon. I was able to attend two sessions and found both of them to be so helpful and full of useful information. The students will be happy to know that I learned so new games for Math class, helping with memorizing math facts. I can't wait to use them in class. Laura Davidson was in the classroom for me today. She so enjoyed spending the rest of the day with the students and praised them on their excellent behavior. I have to admit that I was quite proud of my students! Thank you class for being on your best behavior!

Here is a recap of our day:

Reading - no In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson due next week - instead they have a poster project on the "American Dream". Students received a handout and rubric for the project as well as poster board to complete the project - it is due 11/15. I strongly suggest that you work with your student on this helping them to understand what the American Dream is. We talked extensively about it in class, but told the students to talk to their parents too :)

Happy November! What a gorgeous beginning to a new month! God has blessed us with so many good things. Each blog entry this month I am going to include at least one thing I am thankful for. I know I should be thankful each and every day, not just around Thanksgiving. Baby steps right now. I will strive for one month and it will become a habit and will do all year around! :) I'm including two things today: First of all as I have mentioned - THE BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN WEATHER. What an awesome day to have recess duty! Trust me, you won't hear me saying that come January when it is bitterly cold :) Secondly I am thankful and grateful for a God who supports and sustains us. A God who is imputable - never changes. He has called me to be His child and watches over, takes care of and protects me like a father does. I don't deserve His grace, but He keeps giving it to me and giving it to me. I indeed have a grateful heart!

We did have a full day. A lot of work was completed in our day. The students should feel good about all the work they completed and the manner in which it was completed! Good job!
