Morado students are getting more involved with preparations for The Odyssey, making props, set, and costumes as well as rehearsing. One student, upon being asked what his role is, drew himself up and said, “I spread the light.” (He is a torchbearer.) Students continued to learn about the continent of Africa, and look forward to sharing some of their experiences with you next Friday, January 27 at 9:00.

In math, many students have turned to fractions. Some made bar graphs this week, some tried a new material and others began to shift from materials to abstraction in operations. Several practiced reading large numbers.

We are preparing progress reports, which will be sent to you January 30. Please sign up on Bloomz for a conference. Slots are available February 2 and 3.

Enjoy your weekend,

Ben, Mary, and Ali
