*NO MORE FRIDAY TESTS... WHY THERE ARE NO MORE FRIDAY TESTS AND HOW YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN SPELLING NOW

When I give students a spelling page to work at, they are studying spelling patterns. Instead of focusing all our attention on random words, we group and study words by common patterns. My two favorite spelling books that help kids see the common patterns words share are: 'Words Their Way' and 'Treasures Spelling Practice.' We are currently using TREASURES.

                        - Hand-in your TREASURES WW page on the last day of the week for grading... to see if the student understands the patterns for the week.

                      - TREASURES practice page / list words will always be in the agendas.

Social - Emotional Learning - interoception - with Mrs. Bartraw

Executive-functioning skills = are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully. Just as an air traffic control system at a busy airport safely manages the arrivals and departures of many aircraft on multiple runways, the brain needs this skill set to filter distractions, prioritize tasks, set and achieve goals, and control impulses.

 What is interoception?
