Tuesday, April 5

 Hi parents,

We had a much better day today! We started our day with a discussion about persistence, and the students shared about times when they thought they couldn't do something, but proved themselves wrong. 

We had an unexpected Lockdown Drill and the class did a great job - this was the first unexpected lockdown drill we've ever had, but everyone stayed calm, quiet, and attentive. 

The students read about some of the traditions and festivals in Meteghan and Iqaluit. Then, they wrote paragraphs about whether they would rather live in Meteghan or Iqaluit, and why. We talked about how paragraphs are like sandwiches - they always need to have two pieces of bread (an intro and conclusion), but what goes between the bread is up to the author. Typically more is better too (within reason).

In the afternoon, Mrs. Fernandez taught the students more about Haiku poetry, and led them through some basketball activities in gym. We wrote a haiku as a class:

A flower laying,

On the grass, so bright, so wise,

Very beautiful!

And we ended our day with music. 

Have a nice night!

Zac
