Hi parents,
We had a bit of a loud day today.
In the morning, we rearranged the seating plan, and looking back, I think that may have been the reason for the loudness. I let the students know that if they were unable to focus in their new spots, they'd be in different spots tomorrow. Since the whole day was louder and less orderly than our usual standard, the seats will unfortunately have to move again. I hope the class sees this change as an opportunity to make new friends, and I hope everyone will be able to focus a bit better in new places. The students will still have plenty of opportunities to socialize at recess, during gym, and during snack.
The highlight of today may have actually been the math quiz, which was a huge success! The students worked independently and demonstrated a great understanding of Place Value. I'll be sending the quizzes home tomorrow.
In science, we reread Stellaluna, and talked about the similarities and differences of birds and bats. The students created Venn diagrams to capture their ideas.
In the afternoon, we worked in Literacy Groups, went to Gym, and had Music. In gym, the class had a lot of trouble with cleaning up, as the temptation of hula-hooping was too much for many to overcome. We ended up having a full class "Listening Club" during recess, which lasted 5 minutes and consisted of me explaining the importance of listening, and how to politely remind other students to follow instructions.
The class was not too happy about that, but I'm sure we'll be able to do much better tomorrow. :)
On second thought, maybe not, as tomorrow is crazy hair day at LBS! Please remind students at home as this event was not particularly well advertised at school.
Have a nice night,
Zac
