Today at Woodbrook we had a visit from Grandma Rose. Grandma Rose is a lady who makes speeches at schools that pertain to bullying. One thing I love about her is that she says that we cannot control how other people treat us. We can't control what they say to us. The only thing we can control is how we react to it. She talks fast and she has a fantastic message. She pulls a few kids up onto the stage with her and they act out these short skits that teach her lessons. She teaches three main tactics: agree with them, distract them, or make a joke. The idea is not to let it have any effect on you whatsoever. Grandma Rose is giving a more grown-up message to parents tomorrow night at the Woodbrook Cafe, and I highly recommend it. She gave a lot of good points about things like road rage and just all-around negative people. It starts at 7:00pm, so be there.
In Math class today, we talked more about factors, I taught them about square roots and square numbers, and then we played a game called Factor Captor. The homework for Math is Study Link 1.4. By the way, you may have to think for a second on #1, but just make sure you read through the table above it and then you'll start to see it if you think about what it's asking.
Homework for my homeroom is the meaning exercise for the spelling words. I told them that this is where they either write a sentence or draw a picture for each word on their list.
It was great meeting everyone last night, by the way. Thank you so much for making the effort to come.
We're over the hump now. Hope everyone has an awesome Wednesday.
