Have a wonderful break.  There will be no homework assigned over the break.  The class numbers were pretty low today.  As I write this, and the students relax while watching a film, there are 9 students in the class. There were 11 this morning and I think this is a perfect number for an ISP Learning Differences/Disability class.

Over the past couple of days we have had an extensive review of how to tell time.  Many students improved their grades and understanding of the work but a number still are struggling.   We played the online Math game I posted the other day.  Here are some of the images of the students at play:







The students completed their online Photostory projects (Book Talks).  They will be marked in 2012.

 In spite of our numbers we worked on the comprehension portion of the article the students read on caffeinated beverages.    There were 4 groups today and each group was responsible for answering two questions.  When we meet again in January, we will continue our comprehension work on this  article again.  To support the understanding of the article, I used a video from You Tube that was short and summarized the article we read in class.

Once again, have a restful break.  Read and practice your multiplication tables over the break.
