Wednesday

Hi parents,

We had another pretty good day today! Our wet felting activity was a huge success. Thank you to the parents who volunteered and helped us with this surprisingly tiring craft. :) The students learned a lot about the process of wet felting, and created their own 3-D ornaments using wool. They are currently drying, but should be good to go home sometime tomorrow or the next day.

The wet felting took up most of our morning, and after snack, we only had a bit of time to do some writing. Today, the students responded to the prompt: "When I hear _______, I...".  I think my favourite response was "When I hear rock music, I tell my Dad to turn it off". Even though I do not agree with it. We had a class discussion about how certain sounds, like sirens, or fire bells, are meant to send very specific messages to our brains.

In the afternoon, the class did Daily 5 and Music. The students did not get to go outside for either recess today, because it was too cold, so that made the end of day clean up a bit crazy. That being said, I have noticed so many students going above and beyond to help keep our classroom clean, peaceful, and happy, and I cannot express how much I appreciate that! :) 

Have a wonderful night,

Zac
