Monday, January 25

 Hi parents,

We had a pretty good Monday today, but not particularly interesting. 

The students wrote about their weekends, practiced 2-digit addition and subtraction, and were introduced to this week's spelling words. Ms. Thaxter led the class in a discussion about the word "indigenous", and what we know about Canada's indigenous peoples. I was happy to see that most students remember quite a bit!

The students worked gradually through a larger graphing activity, in which they had to:

1. Create a survey question, with 4 possible answers

2. Create a table to keep track of data

3. Ask their question to their classmates and tally responses

Tomorrow we will be creating graphs to show the data! The students are really excited about this activity so the challenging part has been making sure they take their time and keep their data organized. Neatness is key when it comes to data collection!

Have a nice night,

Zac
