Ah, Bloomington!

Happy weekend to all!

It's the typical freezing here in Bloomington. Between the indoor recess and the closeness of winter break, the students are little "tidings of joy!" I love their enthusiasm and their patience during this time of year.

This weekend, students had two assignments to consider. One was a math packet. I have been noticing that students needed a little bit of guided practice with some of their skills. Each sheet in the packet demonstrates a process for finding an answer and then follows with some exercises for students to try. The other assignment is to get their mark chart slips signed.
