Happy New Year! We can’t believe it’s January, 2026! The students returned from Winter Break remembering the routines and working diligently. They have become very normalized and we are happy to see them working and learning. Each day they make a plan for the day and get straight to work. Most will choose a work from each subject of our curriculum daily.
While students continue to master the math process and move on to new individualized lessons, we have also introduced a new math unit. We are learning how to tell time. This is a unit that comes out every year. The students are used to reading digital clocks, but the work we have out uses an analog clock. These are much harder to read. Activities for our time unit include telling time on the hour and half-hour, telling time to the nearest minute, and finding how much time has passed using a clock.
In Geography we are learning about the flag. Students will learn the parts of a flag, flag etiquette, flags of each state in the U.S.A and explore different flags from around the world. Learning the different flags is a great way to give students insight into global geography.
Have a wonderful weekend!
