“A great, great deal has been said about the weather but
very little has ever been done.”
~ Mark Twain
January has been an interesting month so far. I know the arctic blasts from Mother Nature
have played havoc with the schedules of everyone. I’m glad I am not a meteorologist right now,
as all they are stuck with delivering the cold weather news we really don’t
want to hear. As you should know by now
we will be having school on February 14th to make up for our
cancellation on January 23rd.
We are doing all we can to make up for the loss of these precious
instructional days in the classrooms and appreciate your support!
Some first and second grade students have been working
together as math buddies. While we don’t
do a lot of group work at Eagle Ridge Academy, the structure of younger and
older students working together on occasion is too good of an opportunity to
ignore. In this case the students were
in groups with an adult assigned to guide them through the process of estimating
with each other. As you can see from the
pictures, the groups were really engrossed in what they were doing. It was interesting to listen to their
strategies and to hear the adults give them other ways to estimate.
Mr. Anderson has been busy filling up the “Art Wall of Excellence”
outside the art room. Below is a picture
of some of the work that is currently being displayed.
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend!
Mrs. Baier
