Wednesday, December 16

 Hi parents,

We had a great day today! The students worked hard throughout the day and earned lots of Dojo Points. 

In the morning, the students responded to the writing prompt: "If I borrowed Santa's sleigh..." They did an awesome job with this task - I was surprised by how many drastically different responses I received. It turns out there are a lot of things to do with a magical sleigh. 

The students worked on pattern booklets for math. I will upload them to the Google Classroom for anyone who is interested in doing some extra pattern practice, or who may have missed today's lesson.

In the afternoon, the students made up their own nonsense words following the 'consonant, vowel, consonant' format. They then created "Word'e'mon" creatures to go with each word. The students had a lot of fun with this activity, and I really recommend giving it a try at home!

Tomorrow is our school-wide Festive Sweater Day! Students are encouraged to wear their most festive sweaters. If they don't have anything festive, they can wear their favourite instead. It is also our spelling quiz, and of course, our last school day of 2020!! Tomorrow, I will be sending home an important package containing information and resources relevant to our week on online learning from January 4 - 8.

Tomorrow is also our spelling quiz.

Have a nice night!

Zac
