In Writers' Workshop, students continued to publish their personal narratives. If they didn't finish, they took their writer's notebook and lined paper home to finish tonight.
In Math Workshop, students learned how to log on and use the online program "First in Math". Some students may have played this last year. Each student's log in information and password is located on the inside front cover of their planner.
College-Going Culture: This year in room 11 we're creating what's referred to in education as a "College-Going Culture". Essentially, I'm introducing students to Big Ten Universities. Each student picked their own Big Ten college. Later on in the school year, the kids will research their university, majors, etc. As a result this initiative, however, students have been routing for their university's football team each weekend. As such, this weekend Michigan State (my Alma mater) and Maryland are playing each other in football this weekend.
Tomorrow, if your child wants, they can wear green and white to support Michigan State or red and yellow to support Maryland. If you'd like to learn more about creating a College-Going Culture and its benefits, click here.
