Tuesday, November 23

 Hi parents,

We had a pretty good day today all around. In the morning, we read the story "Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox". It's a good one. Especially for a class that has been obsessed with similes lately. 

The students wrote animal-themed similes about themselves too, following the format "Sometimes I feel like a [animal], because I am [adjective] and [adjective]. They had the option to write a paragraph focusing on one single animal they identify with, or to pick a few different ones.

We worked on multiplication some more. I feel like we're at the point where we've discussed a few solid strategies and when to use them, and now it's just a matter of practicing. 

In the afternoon we had Daily 5, worked on literacy activities, went to gym, and did a bit of preparation for conferences. Students looked through their workbooks and found tasks they were particularly proud of, and also identified personal learning goals.

Have a nice night,

Zac
