Wednesday (Judgment Day) ((Lockdown Day))

Hi parents,

We had a good day today! And to answer the burning question on everyone's mind: yes it will be a pajama day on Friday. The student's did a great job with the lockdown all around. The police officer said he had no idea that we had been hiding there because we'd been so quiet. What I was most impressed by was the number of students who really rose to the challenge and helped guide their peers to make good choices throughout the entire grueling 20 minutes. 

In the morning today, the students wrote about what they wanted to be when they grew up. It was interesting to see how most of the Grade 2 students have drastically changed their life goals since last year. 

We did a lot of math this morning too. I have officially given addition lessons to all of the Grade 1 students, and tomorrow I'll be able to work in small groups with the grade 2's. All around, the students seem to be catching on to addition much more quickly than they did with subtraction. Keep up the great work at home!

In the afternoon, we had our lockdown, and we had music, and then I introduced the students to some new literacy games that will be available as part of Daily 5.
