Open House is September 18 from 6-7.  Families will learn more about our classroom, see the silhouette posters, and sign up for October conferences.
The first few weeks of school we build our foundation for the school year.  As we all know, if a house is built without a strong foundation it will become unstable.  That is how I feel about our classroom.  The last 2 weeks the students have learned how our class operates. This allows for differentiated instruction and classwork.  I often have many different things happening in the classroom at one time.  Students need to learn how to manage themselves so everyone can be on task and getting what they need when they need it.  Our chromebooks will be here soon and that will allow us some more independence.  Math homework will be on the computer once I get the students on Think Through Math.  They will also be using Khan Academy for reteaching and enrichment.
Today my order for Keva Planks arrived.  Check out their link to see these amazing blocks!
