Challenge

While working on our math assignment today, I came to realize that many of my friends do not know how to spell their last names, their address or their phone number.  This got me thinking.  This is a very important skill for the kids to know in case of an emergency. So, I am making a challenge. I challenge my students to learn their full name, address and phone number. If they can prove to me that they know this information (by being able to write it all out) I will give them a prize (I'm going to Target to find prizes tonight) and they will get their name on the challenge poster. Now, since I want the students to really know this information and not just memorize it for a day, I am starting the challenge on Tuesday of next week. If a student feels he or she is ready to prove their knowledge they will get a form to fill out. If they fill it out correctly, they win!  If they do not fill it out correctly, the can go home and practice some more and try again on Friday. This will continue for a couple of weeks.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Blake
