Track Out...

Well, we made it to track out. It has been one crazy but productive week. We didn't get to everything planned but we got to a lot.

  •  We finished building our community so when we track back in we will decide if it is efficient or if we need to add anything. The kids are already coming up with ideas. Check out our twitter feed to see what we built. 
  • We finished our All About books and got to video tape them on SeeSaw. Your child brought home log in instructions. Please download this app and check it out. We will use this as a digital portfolio for the remainder of the year. You can even leave a comment for them. It is wonderful! The kids were bummed that they didn't get to take their geo animal home, but we didn't get to finish the math part of this project. So... we put them on display in the library to keep them safe and wow all the other Brassfield students with our hard work. 
  • We didn't get to make our snowman luminaries :( We are so so disappointed. Wouldn't they have been great during this winter weather? But, never fear. I have all the stuff and we will complete them when we track back in. 
  • I sent home a reading challenge. If the kids complete their hot chocolate challenge over track out when we track in we will have a hot chocolate lunch bunch. Be sure to sign off and return this when we return to school in Feb. This is optional. 
  • I sent home a math packet to practice what we have learned this past track in. If they complete this they can earn a homework pass. This is optional. 
  • Don't forget to have your child write out their valentines and make their valentine holder over track out. We will hand them out on Feb. 15th. Click here for ideas.20 creative Valentine Card Holders ~ adorable ideas for the kids Valentine's Day Party
Have a great break. Stay warm and wish for inches on snow while we are tracked out! See you Feb. 15th.
