This has been the best first week of school at TARGET that we have ever had! We have a fantastic group of third grade students who attend on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and I also teach fourth grade students on Thursdays and Fridays. This week, my students made new friends and got to know their old friends a little better as they had to introduce a partner. Then, after reviewing class rules and school-wide procedures, they were given the opportunity to vote on which exploratory course they would like to attend this fall. Choices include: Disney/Performance (Mrs. Williams & Mrs. Duran), Art (Mrs. Coleman), Japan (Mrs. Dunham), and Monumental Math (Mrs. White). Students will have so much fun exploring their interests each morning at TARGET in these interesting classes!
After that, they learned all about the gifts of ancient Greece and were given a special homework challenge - Check their STAR binders for more info! We also viewed an interactive PowerPoint presentation about Humanities, during which students learned some cool new words (Ask them what "humanities," "civilization," "B.C.," and "A.D." mean!) relating to our year-long study of Ancient Greece and Rome. Next week, send students with their suitcases and passports... We are taking a "daycation" to Greece!!!
