It’s The End of The Week, As We Know . . . And I Feel Fine!!

What a great end to the week. The students had a great couple of days and we got a lot accomplished. The students all did a wonderful job on their bible verse today which was fantastic to see (and hear!).

Students also did their spelling tests today as well, which will be marked for Monday. Thinking about the next wee, the students will be really getting into things. We will be wrapping up their science projects on the Oobleck machines and working on the student’s pictures of their visions of what a safe and caring community looks like. We will be adding those ideas into a Voicethread to share with everyone. If you don’t havea microphone for your computer, you may want to consider picking one up as you will be able to add comments to the voicethreads to respond to the students work. Microphones are pretty cheap and do not have to be fancy at all. It would be really cool if the students were able to get some feedback on their work.

Monday is Red Shirt Day at Highroad to encourage and cheer on the volleyball team. Students are allowed to were jeans and a red shrt. The info I have is:

Students may wear casual pants : jeans, kakis etc and a RED shirt. The shirt can have a logo on it but not a red and black striped shirt or pink and red etc… If they do not have a red shirt they need to be in their uniform.

Also, the ladies have a volleyball game at 6 on Monday. Come on out and get excited by the great teams that we have here at Highroad. The more people from our class that we have the greater the chance that our class will win a pizza party. Apparently the girls volleyball team will personally supply and serve pizza to the class that has the most supporters out. They are counting siblings, family, aunts, uncles etc. so bring everyone out and help our class win a pizza party!!!

To end off, I thought I would add a couple of great videos we were enjoying at lunch today. They are really cute videos and the students really enjoyed them. Have a great weekend!!!

Who’s Ned?

Well, Ned was in town today and a whole lot of yo-yo fun was to be had. It was a great performance with a great Christian message. The students loved the tricks and the presenter, Tim, was great and really spoke well to the students in a way that was entertaining and enjoyable.

Here is an animoto of the presenter. The pictures aren’t great but give an idea of what was going on. I also included a couple of clips of people doing yo-yo tricks and a video of a lesson on how to do a trick.

In math, the students have started multiplication with a look at the dimensions of a rectangle. Students learned that rectangles can be made up of lots of little squares. A dimension is the number of squares going along the bottom of the rectangle and how many squares going up the side of a rectangle there are. We call it over and up. Students also learned that the over number of squares times the up number of squares equals the area of the rectangle or the product. I know what you’re saying! “Easy for you to say, Mr.Hancock!” Well, the students caught on very quickly and were able to create rectangles with me only giving them the area of the rectangle.

This afternoon, students had their first party. We had a great time and the students are now working on the next 25 stars they need to have their next party. However, they may find it to be a little harder as I tend to get quite picky as the year goes on.

Reminder that Friday is both their spelling test and their memory verse reciting. Please help your child to work on both those items. If you need a spelling list, you can download the list from the class files section of the blog.
