Another week down, and a five day little break for Chuseok! This week everyone worked very hard on completing their 5 paragraph essays. We planned, we rough drafted, we found quotes, we cited with MLA conventions, and finally we typed them up and submitted them! I was able to get through some making edits and suggestions, so some students started to rectify these issue. Others will receive their essays back next Thursday to make the final revisions. In all I am very pleased with the hard work and effort put into these essays! I will hold everyone to the standard … Mrs. Leah Class Update – Term 1, Week 4
We are off to a great start after this first full week back at school! This year students were each given a student planner in which we write what we learned, upcoming dates and events, homework, and any other notes as need. I ask students to share these planners each week with parents as a way to talk about their time in school, recall and explain what they have learned, and to keep families informed. Please sign the planner page each weekend for Monday the following week! In English we did some reading fluency assessments then jumped into our first … Term 1, Week 1
Wednesday, August 28th (Week 2) at 3:30pm Mrs. Leah will host a curriculum overview session. We will go over our classroom, what we will be learning this year, our materials, and how the class will be organized. Attendance is optional, but we would be happy to see you there! Mrs. Leah
What a great first day of the 2024-2025 school year! Today we spent our time talking about our summer vacations, going over the rules and expectations of the classroom and HFS, and doing some logistical stuff to get the classroom and our new laptops set up. We did a bit of brain work by taking a math diagnostic to see where we are after a month and and a half off – and I was super happy with the results! After the school wide assembly we did a creative, relaxing activity of making a square that represents our unique selves … Term 1, Week 0
I hope everyone had a great and relaxing (or maybe adventurous) summer! I am excited to see every one on Friday and get started on another year of great learning. This year PE will be on Tuesdays and Fridays, so be sure to wear activity appropriate shoes and clothing those days. If you are inclined to play football or other intense sporting activities at break times, a change of shirt may be a good idea as it is still very hot and you may get very sweaty. Please be sure to bring a water bottle, and your snack and lunch … Welcome Back to School 7/8/9!
