Hi parents,
We had a good day today!
In the morning, the students worked on math problems, editing, and spelling practice. We split into 'social studies buddies' and did some more reading about Iqaluit. Today, the focus was on Natural Resources and occupations. The students read about soapstone carving, hunting, and the wide range of plants and animals found around Iqaluit. They answered some comprehension questions too.
We read the first chapter of the second Droon book, and the class answered even more comprehension questions.
In the afternoon, we did Spelling Practice, Daily LA, and Music.
If it seems like we haven't been doing as much in class lately, it's just because our Morning Work period now features math problems, spelling practice, editing, and finishing work from earlier in the week. It takes almost 90 minutes! But the students have been using this time really effectively, and building a lot of independence too, and I feel like we're at our peak 'Montessori-est'.
Remember that tomorrow is Fun Lunch!
Our spelling quiz will be the following week.
RPG Maker VX on Sale!
Also, this has nothing to do with school at all, but for any aspiring young video game creators, RPG Maker VX is on sale via Steam for less than $5. This is probably the most user-friendly video game design software I have ever encountered, and a couple of years back, I was even using it with my Grade 1/2 students! There are great tutorials available on YouTube and I'd be happy to help too.
Have a nice night!
Zac
