 Hi parents,

We had a pretty good day today!

In the morning, we had the spelling quiz, which unfortunately did not go as well as I was hoping. Maybe the -ed ending words were too much for June...But that's okay! The students made a valiant effort and that's what our spelling quizzes are all about. I appreciate inventive spelling as much as I appreciate correct spelling.

We watched a great Arthur episode called "Lost!", in which Arthur gets lost downtown. It was a great episode to learn from because it focused on different types of communities and helpers in our communities, which are both big parts of the social studies curriculum. 

The students had the choice to either write in their journals about a time that they felt lost, or what they would do if they ever did get lost.

In math, we learned about skip-counting by 5's. The students did an awesome job with this one! Usually skip-counting by 5's is the tricky one, especially when starting from numbers other than 5, but everyone seemed to get it pretty quickly.

At the end of the day, we did a virtual theme park visit, and watched some roller coaster / ride POV videos from some fun rides at Disneyland. The students had a blast.

Thank you to everyone who sent back their pink community project forms! If you haven't completed yours with your child yet, please do so this weekend and send it back on Monday. :)

I also sent home some yearbook consent forms with anyone who has not currently completed the form. Please send those back, signed, on Monday as well, so your child's face does not get covered by an emoji.

Have a nice weekend!

Zac
