Tuesday, May the Force

 Hi parents,

We had a great day today! Sadly I forgot to plan any Star Wars related activities.

In the morning, we watched an emotional episode of Arthur. Francine was rude to her friends, and then her friends got revenge on her by drawing mean cartoons. But did they take things too far...? We had a great discussion about the episode and how the characters could have handled their problem differently. The students wrote about their thoughts in their journals.

We learned about the Yukon today as part of social studies - a pretty cool territory all around! Yukon Video

We talked about the gold rush, ghost towns, and drinks with toes in them.

In the afternoon, we did Daily 5, badminton in gym, and then heard from our friend Ms. Rehill. She was asking the students for suggestions on how she can teach 'kindness' to other students. Room 6 had tons to say about that.

Tomorrow is Hats on! For Mental Health day. Children are encouraged to wear hats as a tribute to their wonderful teacher. 

Just kidding - it is to bring awareness to the importance of mental health, and I'm looking forward to having some great discussions in class tomorrow.

Thursday, May 6: Job Day

Job Day is coming up too! Have you had a chance to talk with your child about their ideas? 

Have a nice evening,

Zac
