Learning Skills Check-Up

Hi parents,

Today you are getting our November social skills check-up. We focused on saying only positive words, working calmly and staying focused on our task, while we completed the pictures in our calendars. Focused, quiet work has not always been easy for us, but it was much better today since students knew they would be self-evaluating after. We will continue to work on these skills. Please check in with your student about how they did and how they can do even better.

Today, we also completed our November dictée. I haven't looked at them yet, but from my observations, and how quickly we got it done, I think it was our most successful one yet! Look for that on Monday.

We are also bringing home our Halloween Frankens and they have been replaced with some lovely Hanukkah art that we have already completed. We used tape to draw one of 3 Hanukkah symbols that we discussed very briefly, and then we painted over it. They look so cool when you peel the tape off!

Have a great weekend!
