Hi parents,
We had another pretty good day today, and I'm sure the students would all agree that making the egg shelters was the highlight! I was not sure to expect today because we haven't had too much time to plan the shelter designs, but I'm quite impressed by how well the students did! For the most part, the shelters are small and cozy, with multiple layers of materials, and minimal openings. I think they'll work well, although I'm sure it's going to be weather dependent.
Our shape of the day today was 'circle'. We talked about how a circle is different from many other 2D shapes because it it completely round, which means it does not have sides or corners (although there are some in the math community who say it actually has one curved edge). We brainstormed examples of circles as a class.
The students were having trouble listening in the afternoon, so we had to do a Body Break instead of going to gym. The students have been having trouble following instructions properly, and I think it's because they always think they know what I'm going to ask but then they're slightly off. For example, I'll ask the students to clean off their desks before recess, but they'll assume they should also go and change their shoes for recess, and then I'll have half the class outside in the hallway when I'm trying to explain that recess actually isn't for another 5 minutes and we still have something else to do. I know working on listening is frustrating and boring for many kids, but unfortunately there's no way to have a successful classroom without those skills... so I apologize if the kids seem grumpier after our 'listening school' days.
Thursday, Dec. 3 is a school-wide Pajama Day!
