Friday, October 23

Hi parents,

Favourite shirt day was a big success today! 

In the morning, we had the spelling quiz, and watched this video about 'goal setting': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGd0gq5Fgjc 

It is kind of funny and maybe worth watching again at home.

The Spelling Quiz was hands down the best one of the year so far. I think the students have really started to grasp the 'trick' to acing spelling quizzes, which ultimately comes down to knowledge of word families. I always tell the students, "if you can spell 'bit' (for example), you can spell any word that rhymes with it." 

The students drew detailed self portraits. They also did a halloween colour by numbers.

We went to the gym and had a Room 6 "pep rally" where the children chanted each others names and cheered each other on. I hope that everyone left the gym feeling especially appreciated and valued. 

The students took their "'I Am' Sign" pictures and they turned out really well. I think the pictures will be fridge-worthy to say the least.

Stay tuned for next week's spelling words!

Have a nice night,

Zac
