Hi parents,
We had a pretty good day today!
I realize I haven't really mentioned this before, but every morning, we spend 15-20 minutes learning about social studies topics, and having class discussions. We've talked about famous landmarks, people, geography, inventions, all sorts of things. Lately we've been focusing on 'history', and making comparisons to modern day. Today we learned about schools in the past, and had an excellent class discussion about equality, acceptance, and cultural backgrounds. The students remembered what they'd learned about Orange Shirt Day, and we talked a lot about how grateful we are that nowadays, schools are welcoming, kind places where everyone can learn.
School nowadays also do fun things like Crazy Hair Day, and in fact, LBS is having a Crazy Hair Day tomorrow.
We watched the short film 'Hair Love' (it will make you cry) and then talked about hairstyles. The students designed four of their own crazy hair styles, and named them too.
In the afternoon, we listened to an indigenous story, and the students responded to a variety of thought provoking questions. The class made "TH" tongue twisters. We played Kickball in gym.
Tomorrow is Crazy Hair Day, and also the spelling quiz!
Have a nice night!
Zac
