Greetings! As always, I still plan to send my regular update tomorrow, but I've promised the kids another Friday Fun Day. As long as they've finished all of their work up to this point, they'll be allowed to play and have a little social time before we head out for winter break. This means that the kids should have everything from the previous units of this term completed (Units 11-12 for Periods 1&4; Units 12-14 for Period 3), everything we've covered for the current unit up to this point completed (Unit 13 through 13.15 in Periods 1&4; Unit 15 through 15.12 in Period 3), and the necessary number of topics for ALEKS completed for this week. If any of that is not finished, those students will be using tomorrow's class time to get caught up on their work.
The kids who have finished all required work will be allowed to bring in their own games, but obviously with permission from parents/guardians and only as long as they do not violate school policy (e.g. no electronics and nothing inappropriate, which in this case means even some fairly innocent games that wouldn't be great for the classroom such as the Pie Face game). Some kids have asked if they can bring in treats to share and I'm alright with that as well as long as it's within reason (as one kid said last time, don't bring a 10 layer cake Ms. Lambert has to serve up!). This is of course all option as always; I have a ton of games in class and I'm making rice krispy treats for the kids, so we won't be hurting for options tomorrow.
Again, you'll be hearing from me again tomorrow with my usual weekly update, but as always please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Hope you have a great day!
