Monday

Language Arts - Camp Readwell challenge - After the first month the student were very excited about the idea of getting free meal for reading. A few of them met their goal and that was great but I think instead of having to complete two books for this challenge I would make it a time commitment. So here's the plan if students read 20 minutes per night during the week they would read 100 minutes each week. Now it has to be sustained reading not watching aTV and reading at the same time. The goal would be then to have each student read for 400 minutes in the last five weeks before Christmas. If the students reach their goal we could plan a class meal at Montana's restaurant some time in January where the kids could cash in their cards and get their free meal. Each student has a sheet that parents must initial to confirm that they have read for the time indicated.

Science - Please make sure you have completed the electrical devices at home sheet and classified them according to the chart.

Social - Continuing to work through the Atlantic Region P42-45 can be reviewed for Tuesday.

Religion - Some students still have to bring in fabric for our class project in Religion. Also the circle of people needs to be complete for Thursday.
