Hi parents,
We had a great day today!
In the morning, we talked about paragraph writing once again, and the students wrote paragraphs about food (it was inspired by an episode of Molly of Denali that we'd watched earlier). I'm going to try to ensure we have at least one paragraph writing task each week so that students can continue to familiarize themselves with 'expository writing', and they won't ever have to buy a Grammerly membership.
For today's paragraph, students used these sentence starters:
A __________ is a kind of _________.
It is...[what it looks like]
It comes from...
It does not...
Now you know all about ______.
It's a pretty simple format, but it's flexible and can be applied to many different topics besides just food.
The students got to spend a lot of time outside with Ms. Brown today, learning new games and going over expectations. We will be working with Ms. Brown for an hour, 2-3 times each week, and much of this time will be spent outside. As such, it is especially important for students to dress warmly, and to have boots and snow pants if possible for the snowy days.
In the afternoon, we had a wonderful Montessori work period where the students worked on all kinds of different things. After that, we did Daily 5, and then did rough versions of our Norval Morrisseau-inspired artwork.
We ended the day with some skip-counting worksheets.
Here's a cool video abut counting by 3s:
