Tuesday, January 24

Hi parents,

Today was an exceptionally good day for our class, which more than made up for yesterday's issues. Our morning work period was one hundred minutes long - that's over an hour and a half of self-directed work time! The students finished their writing task from yesterday (which was two+ paragraphs, the most we've done all year), as well as their morning math, spelling practice, and a quick french sentence.

In math, we learned about angles within polygons, and the 'rules' about them. For example, how the angles within a square always add up to 360. We reviewed terms like parallel, perpendicular, acute, and obtuse too.

The students practiced using contractions by taking pairs of words (for example:  I am,  He will, She has, etc.) and used them to create a contraction and then use it in a sentence.

In the afternoon, we talked more about the seven sacred teachings, and then did Daily LA.

We played Zookeeper in gym, and ended our day with multiplication practice. :)

Optional Bonus Table Point Opportunity:

Students were challenged to find and share an interesting fact about their table's "country" or "province".

Have a nice night!

Zac
