Hi parents,
Today was a cool day for our class because we got to visit the library / learning commons for a special activity, also known as a "peace provocation". Students got to use 'boom box' speakers listen to CDs from a variety of different music genres. The theme of the activity was "I feel peaceful when I listen to Music". I had a lot of fun watching the kids appreciate the technology, and even some of the music, that I grew up with.
The students learned how to use patterns to draw dreamcatchers in their sketchbooks.
We also learned about Telling Time, which can be a really tricky concept to teach. It's hard for students to grasp that each number on the clock represents a different value depending on which hand is pointing at it. However, our recent practice with skip-counting by 5's undoubtedly came in handy today, and I feel like with a couple more lessons we'll all have it figured out.
In the afternoon we did some literacy activities and went to Gym and Music.
Tomorrow, I will be sending home some workbooks with students, as well as our Colour Monster activity. I hope that these will help you get a better idea of all the work we've done this year. Please remember to send the workbooks back to school next Monday!
Have a nice night,
Zac
