What a fabulous first week! I must say that I am so thankful that we had half days all week because I am EXHAUSTED! I loved getting to know each of your children and think I even have everyone's name down.
Although there wasn't much homework this week we did start to jump into curriculum. Students completed their first math assessment as well as a writing assessment. We talked a lot about standards of work. I will be doing a lot of scoring using rubrics this year so students completed drawings using a rubric. Stop by and see them on our wall!
Today, the class finished Venn Diagrams of themselves. Students worked in partners to discuss how there are alike and how they are different. When done brainstorming they drew and compared themselves using venn diagrams. We lucked out having half our class from St. Cyprian's and half from St. Martin so it was easy to blend and have kids get to know someone they didn't know last year.
Speaking of getting to know new people, 4th grade was called out at prayer service this morning for having 100% participation for getting to know new people! Great job!
I am really excited to see what next week brings. I didn't give homework over the weekend as we are still sorting out textbooks, etc. so enjoy this last weekend of NO homework! If you have a chance though, I would love for students to leave me a comment answering the following question:
