Friday

Happy Friday everyone!

Today was our best day this week. The students were pretty much always working hard, the volume was low, and everyone was getting along. :)

In the morning, we had our Spelling Quiz, and then the students had a bit of time to work in their math groups before we went to Gym.

When we got back, we looked at some optical illusions, and talked more about how our senses can trick us. Then, the class met up with their Grade 3/4 buddies, and the older students read original stories to the Grade 1/2s.

We did a lesson on verbs, and the students went through their journal entries and identified examples of verbs. We talked about why the Montessori symbol for a verb is a big red circle (because the sun is the source of our planet's energy, and the sun is a big red circle, and without its energy we would not be able to do anything). At the end of the day, we had a very quiet, peaceful Daily 5 session.

I sent the ornaments home today, and asked the students to put them in their lunch kits, where I thought they would be safest. Im really hoping they all made it home alright!

Have a great weekend,

Zac
