Can you believe we have been going for one month?! Time is just flying by. Our grade level is working on differentiating for math, finalizing our spelling/word study groups, and getting progress reports sent out to our families.
Our class is having a great time:) I try to make the atmosphere fun and engaging. Sometimes our class of entertainers takes their behavior too far, and we are working on that. I don't want to dampen their spirits, but we need to learn when it is appropriate to be silly, and when it is just distracting to the learning going on. We have a class with big personalities, big brains, and big ideas. Our days are never dull.
For those of you concerned about the classroom getting warm when the sun beats through our massive windows: the school is working on ordering window coverings. In the meantime, I am hanging butcher paper over the windows to keep the heat from warming out the room by the windows. We are fine up until about 1pm, then the room has a hard time keeping cool. We don't want to eliminate the natural light from coming in, so we think blinds would be the best option. If you have any other ideas, please post a comment to this post, or email me directly at mbindrup@pinecrestnv.org . There has been a coating/tint already installed on all the windows, but it seems to not be enough.
Homework questions: homework is due on Friday. Your students may turn it in earlier, but with hectic schedules in our families, I understand not every night is ideal for all homework being completed. Please have your student turn in their signed homework form with their name on it on Friday. Thanks!
