Sorry for the Delay

Hi Everyone!

It has been a while since I have posted last. The end of the year is quite a busy time but I am back!

Yesterday the students got an eye-full when they came in from their weekend and a third of our board was covered in names of students with missing assignments, yes a third. It was a lot to look at! I am keeping those students in for recess in the morning and in the afternoon if they have missing assignments and I am giving them that time to make up that missing work. Some of the students are missing quite a few things and we only have until next Friday to bring it all in before I cannot enter grades for makeup work. I hope we get it all done! Today we had quite a few things turned in, which was good, but there are still a LOT of names to go. I am proud of the students who have been getting everything in on time and haven't had to stay in! Ezekiel and Ernest are the only two that have turned in everything, so nice job guys!

Today we continued to plug away at our Little House on the Prairie book and finished through chapter 10! It is going so quickly and we are really enjoying it so far! Tomorrow I can't wait to see what happens when Laura and her family visit an abandoned Indian village on the prairie!

This afternoon we started learning about the circulatory system in our journey through the human body. We learned how to take a pulse on ourselves and learned what happens to our pulse when we exercise! We were almost breaking a sweat! We were running in place, doing jumping jacks, side lunges, punching, and a combination of all of them. Whew!

Tonight's homework is Phonics page 199-200, 5 pages (and they can be any 5 pages) of the workbook packet which is due Friday, and one human body activity.

Can't wait to see you all tomorrow. Let's keep our spirits high and end the year strong!
