Celeste+Henkel+Elementary

Welcome Celeste Henkel parents and students! On this page you will find an update of my work with the students at Celeste Henkel.

Mr. Gardner's class - We have been working for two weeks on a checkbook simulation project. Students manage money they have earned mowing lawns and babysitting. They add, subtract, multiply, divide, calculate tax and interest, and write checks and deposit slips. Students are enjoying applying the skills they have learned to some real-world math!

Mrs. Economou's class - We have enjoyed reading the novel __Walk Two Moons__ by Sharon Creech. We mapped the main character's journey, discussed allusions and figurative language, played comprehension Jeopardy, and completed an Alphaboxes summary. We are currently working on a seven paragraph essay discussing the literary elements in the novel.
