And by homework, I mean for YOU, parents and guardians!<\/p>\n
Many apologies, but tonight the students’ homework is to get their parent or guardian to do some homework.<\/p>\n
This quarter we will be doing a project entitled “My Success”. \u00a0Students will research a career, create a resume, go to a mock job interview, find a place to live, and create a budget. \u00a0Essentially they will plan out a future in which they are successful. \u00a0Success means many different things to different people, so we are starting by asking the student, and his\/her family, what they define as success at adulthood. \u00a0Please take about 10-15 minutes to fill this out tonight for your student, and have a talk with them about their future. \u00a0The kids appear to be quite interested in this project, and I am sure they will want to share with you their dreams, and hear the thoughts of their family.<\/p>\n
Success<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In math today we did a good round of centers, and talked about simplifying fractions in small groups. \u00a0 We also talked about adding and subtraction mixed numbers. \u00a0Starting tomorrow students will have a variety of homework options they will need to choose from, based on what they still need work on.<\/p>\n In science we continued our talk about forces, friction, and gravity. \u00a0We pretended we lived in a universe\u00a0without friction, and talked about how difficult that would be. \u00a0We then pretended that we lived in a universe\u00a0without gravity, and how that would affect us. \u00a0This involved lots of spinning around holding a piece of string (gravity) and letting it go. \u00a0That would not end well for the Earth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n so, tl;dr<\/p>\n No homework for the kids, but homework for the adults!!<\/p>\n Please talk with your kids and respond to this question:<\/p>\n Success<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kids should read!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a good one,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Mr. Potter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" And by homework, I mean for YOU, parents and guardians!
