Monday, Feb. 1

 Hi parents,

We had a pretty good day today! We did typical Monday things like weekend journal writing, spelling practice, and Daily 5. 

We had an interesting discussion about 'symbolism', and how animals can represent different traits. Sometimes we can even learn from animals! Canada's indigenous people learned often took inspiration from animals in their traditional hunting methods, artwork, songs, and dance.

We spent a fair bit of time playing outside this morning on the big playground. A new student joined our class and I thought this would be a great way to help everyone get to know them! 

We practiced the new spelling words with "Bee Writing". Students drew pictures of bumblebees and then put the letters of the words in the bee's stripes. I was excited to see how many students chose to challenge themselves to try List C!

Have a nice night,

Zac
