Friday

Hi parents,

Today was a pretty good day for our class all around. The students had time to catch up on any work from earlier in the week they hadn't completed, and I'm happy to report that just about everyone was able to complete everything! This might not seem like a huge accomplishment - after all, students are always expected to do their work - but in a Montessori classroom, getting everything complete can be very difficult for young students, because they are responsible for balancing multiple work choices over the course of the week rather than just doing stand-alone activities. I feel like this week, the class just seemed to be the most independent that they've been all year, and I'm proud of them for that.

The Spelling Quiz went well today, and after that, the students followed up on our discussion from yesterday about community helpers, by choosing one job, writing about why they feel it is important, and what would happen if nobody did that job.

We had our Class Dojo store today too!

Next week, our school will be working with "One World Drumming", to learn about the role that drumming plays in the music from cultures around the world. I'm pretty excited for that! 

Have a nice weekend,

Zac
