Friday, March 4

 Hi parents,

We had a much better day today!

Today we did the spelling quiz a big differently. Each student was given a sheet to write their words on, with only enough space for the list they'd practiced. I marked each quiz and gave them back so they could do corrections, by writing each incorrect word three times. I'm hoping that having this 'consequence' will help the class be a bit more diligent about practicing words throughout the week, while also helping draw attention to words that are a bit more challenging. 

We did two rounds of Daily LA today, and the rest of our time was spent with Guest Reader, Body Break, and math work time. I am so relieved that today, they really pulled through and delivered the quality of work I know they're capable of. The Shopping Spree problem is basically finished! We may put some finishing touches on it on Monday but it's looking a lot better. I hope the experience of having to edit, and even restart the project from scratch has helped the students build perseverance and to learn from their mistakes.
