 Hi parents,

We had a good day today! In the morning, we went outside to check on and retrieve our egg shelters from the garden. Today turned out to be "Judgement Day" for many eggs - the snow and cold weather proved to be too much for many of them, including 'Crazy Edgar', who had a giant crack in his shell.

The class approached the whole experiment with a positive, inquisitive mindset. Nobody seemed overly upset that their eggs or shelters had broken, and they all had plenty of ideas of what they would do differently next time. The class wrote reflections in their journals on the whole process, whether their shelter was successful or not, and what worked well for them.

We started working on the Identity Art / Social Studies Project that is connected to those purple sheets I sent home last week. The students glued pictures of themselves onto the backgrounds they painted two days ago. The next step is to add words and statements about their family, values, interests, culture, and background. We will begin working on that step tomorrow.

The students also had Music class this morning, and we read a book about different kinds of foods from around the world. Our letter of the day was "L".

Tomorrow is our Spelling Quiz - the second last quiz of 2020!

Have a nice night,

Zac

Also, here is an update on the Food Drive:

Dear Families,

You continue to surprise us with your generosity!  We had so many more food items brought to the school today. We did A LOT of counting!  Tomorrow is our last day for collections, so if you were planning on sending in any items please do! 

Keep your eye out for a total item count tomorrow, as well as news about if we reached our collection goal of 500 items.
