Everybody Counts took place on Friday, and I can't tell you how awesomely it went. The kids learned about dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, and even anomia as a part of the program this year. A huge thank you goes out to Carol Fleitz, Kelley Alford, Wendy Franklin, and also to Sara Cox, who coordinated all of Everybody Counts for this year! Thanks, ladies!
The kids did a nice job on their rough drafts for the most part, and today the peer edited them. Tomorrow we're going to do a second peer edit, and then we'll do a grown-up edit, where they'll have to have someone over the age of eighteen look through the paper and pick apart anything that does not make sense, or point out where you could use some more information. Then I'll edit them after that--so don't worry; your final word won't be responsible for your child's score. :)
We've also been learning about Loyalists and Patriots in Social Studies, Sacagawea in Reading, and in my Math class, we've been learning about probability.
Happy Week, everyone!
