End of First Quarter Fun!

Happy 31st Day of October! That means in less than 24 hours, October is over and we're already in to November. This Friday, November 4, is the end of the first quarter. I can't believe how quickly our first quarter went; everything is awesome--the students are all working hard to accomplish the tasks I set before them, and they are rising to the challenge!

For some fun today, we're going to be working in Google Drawings with "magnetic poetry." The words are easily dragged around the image, and kids can create their own holiday-themed poems! Here's my example:

As I mentioned above, the end of the quarter is Friday, so please go through Google Classroom with your children and make sure they have each assignment turned in. If all students have their work turned in by Thursday and Friday this week, we'll do a BreakoutEDU.  What is Breakout, you may ask? It's inspired by "escape rooms," and give students chances to solve puzzle to unlock a box. Here's a video by the official Breakout people on what it's all about:



Hope we can get to that point by the end of the week!

As always, if there are any questions, clarifications, or things with which I can help you, do not hesitate to contact me!

Have a great week!
