Wednesday, May 18

 Hi parents,

We had another loud day today, and I'm disappointed because the endless socializing is having an impact on the work students are completing. With report cards right around the corner, it's extra important for students to be using their time effectively during the work period and saving the socialization for recess, snack, and explore and play! 

If you wouldn't mind having a chat with your child about times for work vs. times for chatting, that might really help. I feel like the students are generally pretty good about understanding their own role in the classroom, and acknowledging whether they've truly been giving it their best shot lately.  

We started painting our Peace Train artwork today, and this was hands down the best part of the day. The students did an amazing job - their work is looking even better than my "A+ Exemplars"!!

We also revisited the 2D shapes from yesterday. This time, the students chose a particularly unusual shape, and wrote about its sides and vertices. We also learned about the somewhat pretentious word 'somewhat', and the students wrote: "It looks somewhat like a ______" sentences.



In the afternoon we had Daily LA, Gym, and Music.

Remember, there's a Spelling Quiz tomorrow! And it is a doozie.

Have a nice night,

Zac
