Hi all,
So I have a couple of updates about this week so bare with me!
1. Monday: Students began to read different perspectives on C. Columbus, it was due today and I checked it and the scores have been updated.
2. Wednesday: I took the day off to take care of my mother who had surgery (full knee replacement surgery) two weeks ago. For the remainder of the month I will be taking a personal necessity day per week to care after her. My siblings and I are alternating days to care after her. I will be planning for these absences and our curriculum will continue during those days. Students are expected to behave and complete work as if I was in class, regardless. This week, Wednesday worked best for me to take care of her but the day could switch during the weeks to come. I will always notify my students ahead of time.
3. Friday: Students took a school wide benchmark for SS8. I will be putting in those scores on Aeries as an exit slip. Students glued a lot of their work for this week on their notebooks, so I asked them to bring it back on Monday to continue with working with their notebooks for a map activity.
4. Monday 10/15: I will be taking a half day to plan with Ms. Miguez' substitute so the students will have to complete their work without my absence. They will be completing a map on the Colombian Exchange and some questions to go with it. Please bring interactive notebook, colored pencils or pens, scissors and glue sticks.
5. THANK YOU FOR THE PARENT DONATIONS! It is all appreciated.
I am attaching all the handouts for this week, in case anyone has misplaced anything.
Thank you!
