“[If] you will train yourself to say less, do less, interfere less, and micromanage less, and allow your children to take a more active role in their lives and the life of the family, this will provide opportunities for them to practice new skills, learn from their mistakes, and navigate their own lives whenever possible” (p. 83).

This week: We will retell a book entitled “The Night Before Christmas” and write a journal entry about a mouse in a department store. In math, we focus on multiple strands of grade level concepts with a specific learning center focus on geometry. We continue our second Social Studies unit entitled “Looking at People.” The students have their own copies of these units on their google drives and can access it from home (via their Wolf Creek email account) if they want to enrich their studies of this topic at home.
Library day is Wednesday, December 20 day 3. We continue to practice digital citizenship while on Chromebooks (click, view, search, type—appropriate and expected behavior). Have a great week and a wonderful Christmas holiday!
