Monday, February 7

 Hi parents,

It was a pretty typical Monday in room 4. We did all of our usual Monday routines with a focus on doing it "nice" so nobody has to do it twice.

For journal writing, the students asked themselves a question, and then wrote a response to that question. Many students opted to use the question "what did you do on the weekend?", but a few of them got pretty creative with it. I was happy to see that a lot of students did some of their neatest, best organized writing of the whole year! 

We went over this week's spelling words, which once again feature the -ea blend. This week it's making a short e sound, like in the words 'Bear' and 'Bread'.

We did a book exchange at the library, and students had time to finish up their igloos from last week. They turned out pretty well!

In the afternoon, we had Daily LA, Gym, and more Work Period.

A couple of things to keep in mind for this week:

Wednesday, Feb 9: Inuit In-Class Field Trip

-Please send back forms if you haven't already!

Thursday, Feb 10: "90's Thursday / Funky Feet Day"

-Brainstorm some phat and / or fly ideas for 90's-inspired apparel 

Please also take the time to contribute to our school's Literacy Day Padlet if you haven't already!

 

Have a nice night,

Zac
