This Week’s Happenings
I received the spelling program I saw at the conference I recently attended. So, please look for homework to include a spelling list beginning this week. I will be writing more about the program at a later time. Homework will be coming tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11th. We were extremely busy and unable to get the assignments in our book and review the work due to preparations for the assembly.
The “homework binder” has gone through an update. We are going to try using a visa ve marker or white board marker on the laminated pages. This will hopefully help eliminate ripping of pages and in the end save on paper. Who would have guessed it would be such a process to get a system up and running. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to try to save money. (I did my own this year in hopes to save the expense of last year’s books.)
The children have been problem solving some issues in the closet area. They have decided that boots should all be kept in one location on a tray system. Mark Haberle willingly agreed to construct such a tray once we have determined the size. We also talked about small containers for the wet mittens and hats to fit on the shelf at the top. Thanks to the PTA I will be purchasing some buckets this week for that purpose. I must tell you, I wish all of your were able to hear your children during our class meetings discussing the issues at hand. They are very thoughtful with their ideas and are learning how to expand on another person’s thoughts. Yeah!
I must end now to get to a chiropractic appointment on time, but there will be plenty more to tell you about in the coming days. We are producing some phenomenal writing of which I intend to post on that page. We are putting our final touches on the motion unit by completing a movie we hope to share at conferences. I am excited about it all and so much more. Take care. Georgeanne
