Monday Memo 12/14/15


Good morning!


 
I hope you all had a great weekend.
​ ​
​I spent Saturday in Boston with my husband, seeing a show and walking around.  How lovely!​
 
​I feel totally spoiled.​

8th Graders Visit

We were delighted to host four fabulous eighth graders on Friday as part of their community service project.  These young men and women joined us for writer's workshop and did a great job conferring with the writers in our class, correcting spelling and helping our with word choice.  I was particularly thrilled to host Brett Morris, my former student.
Concerts

The students really enjoyed the band and strings concert on Wednesday.  It is always so impressive to see these young musicians, and it's particularly fun for the second graders as they imagine themselves performing next year, if they choose to learn a strings instrument.  This week, we will attend a concert by the Happy Hollow Chorus.  We are excited!

Math
This week, we will do our Fractions and Time Assessment.  We call this our "Show What You Know."  I'm sure the children will do very well.

​Holiday Presentations
We are looking forward to everyone sharing their holiday presentations with the class this week.  Thanks for your help and support with this.​
 
Have a great week!
Miriam
