Hi parents,
We had a wonderful Orange Shirt Day today. Mrs. Green and Ms. Gierl's classes led an amazing assembly, and I think the conversations we've been having all week helped the students to appreciate the content on a deeper level.
We finished our Reconciliation Rock project with the buddies, and placed the rocks in the garden. Feel free to stop by and check them out some time!
The spelling quiz was great today. It is so great to see the students' practice paying off! So many students are consistently challenging themselves to do difficult lists, even though they could probably get higher scores on easier ones, and that's what it's all about. I love to see the perseverance.
In math, students sorted numbers from least to greatest - but the numbers ranged from 10 - 1,000,000!
We had a French lesson today but unfortunately didn't have time to finish. All we really had time for was to get a few songs stuck in our heads.
We had a really interesting class discussion around the question, "If you had a machine that could see the future, and you saw someone commit a crime, would it be okay to arrest that person before they committed the crime?" Someone should make a movie about that.
We had our first official Daily LA today and the class did a fantastic job. I'm amazed by how responsibly they used their time, regardless of what station they were on.
Tomorrow is Truth and Reconciliation day, and the students have all kinds of ideas about things they may want to do to honour it. I look forward to checking back with them on Monday to hear how it went!
Have a nice weekend,
Zac
