 Hi parents, 

We had a great day today!

In the morning, the students learned about friendship after reading "The Rainbow Fish". We had an engaging class discussion where students talked about the qualities of a good friend, and the importance of having positive relationships in our lives.

The class continued working on their 'spirit animal' writing. Today, the responded to the prompt: "The animal I chose can teach me how to..." The students did some awesome work on this project and I'm really impressed with how they turned out! I'll take a picture once they're all up on the wall.

In the afternoon we had Music, and did a fun spelling practice activity in which the students had to extend their spelling words by adding some extra 'eeeeeee's'. The students had fun reading words like 'beeeeeeee' and 'feeeeeeeeeeel' out loud - it also really helped solidify their understanding of the 'ee' blend!

Our spelling quiz is tomorrow, and tomorrow is also Ms. Thaxter's last day. :(

The kids have been working on a mysterious special project to give her tomorrow, but if anyone would like to make an extra card at home, I'm sure she'd really appreciate it.

Have a nice night,

Zac
