Proud Panther

     Proud Panther now has his very own blog. If you recall, Proud Panther is our class mascot. A student will be selected weekly for this honor. He/she will then be given the opportunity to take home one of our "Proud Panthers" for the week. He/She will have then be able to blog about the panther's journey in “Proud Panther’s Journey”. In addition to being able to blog, the selected student will get to take home "Proud Panther's Bag" full of books, games and so much more. The selected student will also receive a certificate for his/her accomplishments. Students are encouraged to blog daily about Proud Panther’s journey with him/her. Students may even post pictures of Proud Panther with the help of an adult.
     Be sure to check out his blog for his latest adventures. Thanks for stopping by and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Latest Happenings

     Good evening! We have been busy the past few weeks. Between testing and trying to establish our rituals and routines, it seems like we haven't had a chance to take a breath. The students have been working very hard and have done a great job becoming accustomed to the classroom, especially after the rocky start with Fay.
     More students are trying to answer the Club Einstein questions. Keep up the good work! These questions were designed to make learning more fun as well as introduce the students to conducting research. Students have also begun emailing their homework as a means of turning it in. We are certainly pleased to see this happen as well. After all, we are living in a world that requires the use of technology more and more each day.
     We have posted a PowerPoint on Monitor and Clarify. This was presented to the class today as one of several reading strategies that we will learn this year. If you have a moment, please check it out. This strategy will help your child to be come a better reader.
     Thanks for stopping by and look for further updates soon.
