 Hi parents,

We had a great day today - it's cool to see how quickly the students have already settled into many of our classroom routines.

In the morning, the class was introduced to this week's spelling words, which they had a chance to practice, and we also talked about rhymes. I've noticed more and more students seem to be struggling with identifying words that 'rhyme' and I'm not sure why that is, but I'm hoping that by teaching it a little bit every day, we'll be able to get right back on track. 

In math, we continued to discuss place value, and its role in addition with 2 and 3-digit numbers.

The students wrote in their journals, either about the weekend, or in response to the prompt 'would you rather be a tree or a rock?'. Or, they did creative writing.

In the afternoon we had Music, and we used the Parachute in gym. We ended our day by reading Wish Tree, and the students received their drawing books.

Have a nice night!

Zac
