We had a great back to school week! We all got to pick new jobs! There is a new art project this week where we paper mache our own hands! We had fun while doing it but it was also stressful. There was a new game in gym class which we all had fun playing. In science we have been learning about cancer, and we got to make a cancer presentation with a partner. We also had a science test, and a G-math quiz. We did not have a ton of homework this week which was very nice. We had second step with Mrs. Donner and we learned about being assertive. We sadly had to take down our Christmas decorations. Thank you for listening to our blog! ~ Eliana and Summer
We had a full week filled with activities! Here is what we did! We started Second Steps back up on Thursday morning learning about communicating assertively. We identified different body language cues, facial expressions, and tones that show three types of communication: passive, aggressive, and assertive. We learned that being assertive helps us to stay respectful when communicating but also helps us to stand up for what we want. We practiced being assertive too. New Units: English - Adverbs Writing - Opinion Essays - almost finished! Literature - Drama, reading The Phantom Tollbooth Religion - continuing Jesus' ministry National Lutheran Schools Week: NLSW is right around the corner! The teachers planning this week have a lot of fun activities ready to go with a lot of fun dress days planned as well! NLSW is January 24-28th this year. *Dress down bottoms are optional to wear throughout the week.* Monday: Zoom Call Day Business on top & jammies on bottom Dress like you would on a Zoom call! Tuesday: Crazy Day Wear everything crazy. This includes crazy hair, hats, socks, and clothes all in one day. Wednesday: PJ Day Wear pajamas/sweats May bring one stuffed animal/pillow May wear slippers (bring change of shoes for outside) Thursday: Holiday Day What’s your favorite holiday? Represent one or many holidays on this day with what you wear. Friday: Class Choice Day Our class will choose what to wear this day. This will be communicated at a later time. Scholastic Book Orders: I will place a new order on January 29th. If you would like to order, be sure to use our class code online or you can send in a paper form with a check/money! Let me know! Notes: Report cards will be sent home in two weeks in addition to AR results from quarter 2 and STAR results for our midyear STAR test. Let me know if you have questions!
