 Hi parents,

We had a pretty good day today in spite of being cooped up inside!

In the morning, we had an extended work period so the class could finish up their "is money important?" writing, and the various other work tasks we'd started earlier in the week.

Then, the class started planning and creating their very own money-themed board games. And they literally worked on those non-stop for the next 90 minutes. It was awesome! We even earned back our "Fun Friday". :)

The expectations for the board games were kept pretty flexible to allow for student creativity. Basically, the only rules are that the games must be playable by at least 2 players, be simple enough that anyone can learn the rules, and incorporate decimal / money math in some way. This is another big project, like the Wish Tree dioramas, so it'll take a couple more days to finish, but I'm hoping we can have a day next week where everyone gets to try each other's board games.

In the afternoon, we did Daily LA, classroom gym / body break, and learned about some other animals found in India.

Have a nice night,

Zac
