Off to Fenway

Hello,

Our school counselors came for an introductory visit this morning.  They did a stand up / sit down activity to find out some of the concerns of our class.  Mrs. Farrand is our full time counselor and Mrs. Powers will split time between here and the Jr. High.  They are welcoming kids to sign up to have lunch with them in the upcoming weeks. 

My math class finished their first test with mixed results.  We still need to realize that there are only three digits per family in place value.  Many were stumped by questions like: How much is 12 tens plus 12 ones.  We'll keep at it.  Math concepts build on each other, so we won't go on until we understand.

We reviewed the uses of there, their and they're.  Two, too and to were discussed as well.  Students were given placards with individual words on each one.  They attempted to hold up the correct placard after each sentence that I came up with.  It was a good start for our first go around.

I'm going to Fenway Park tonight to watch my favorite baseball team.  I don't usually sleep much anyway, so that shouldn't be an issue tomorrow.  I hope to see everyone at tomorrow's open house.  It starts at 6:00 and goes until 7:30. 

Our Mr. or Little Miss stories are due tomorrow.  Anyone who didn't finish today has that for added homework. 

Have a good night.  Go Sox!

Mr. Shea
