Hi parents,
We had yet another great day today. I have felt exceptionally grateful to the students for their hard work, kindness, and creativity this week. It is easy to look past all of the negativity in the world when you're teaching a Grade 1/2 class.
In the morning, we reviewed the concept of hibernation, and then the students responded to the writing prompts "I WOULD like to hibernate because..." or "I would NOT like to hibernate because..."
We had a fun and interesting discussion about the questions first. Some students said they'd be happy to hibernate because it would be like a huge buffet followed by a nice, long nap. Others realized that hibernation would mean sleeping through their birthdays, or Christmas, and that was absolutely unacceptable.
The students completed their November Learning Books today, and hopefully were able to safely deliver them home today. As I wrote in my email yesterday, I hope that the books help to spark some conversations at home. I thought it would be cool to send home work that featured a little bit of everything, rather than just focusing on one subject.
Tomorrow is our first day of conferences, and as such, Friday is a day off. That means tomorrow is our spelling quiz! I have high hopes for this one because we have practiced harder this week than in previous weeks.
Have a nice night,
Zac
