Hi parents,
We had a pretty good day today! In the morning, the students finished up work from yesterday. We also did our regular morning math routine, which currently features:
- One 3 digit subtraction problem (with regrouping)
- One 3 digit addition problems (with regrouping)
- Two Multiplication basic fact problems
- Two Multiplication 'multi-digit' problem (students must use algorithm or other strategy to solve)
Having daily practice with these skills helps keep it fresh in everyone's minds. Soon we'll start division and add those into the mix as well!
In Social Studies, we continued learning about the seven sacred teachings. Today's lesson was on 'Honesty', which is represented by the Sabe. The Sabe is basically a sasquatch.
In the afternoon, we did Daily LA and Gym.
We also reviewed the Little Prince, and talked about the many quirky planets he has visited so far in the story. Then the students filled out 'planning sheets', in preparation for a big writing task - we're going to be writing our own 'chapters' of the Little Prince, in which he visits an eighth fictional planet, created by the students. The criteria for this writing is pretty flexible, but just like the other planets, this new planet must teach the little prince some sort of lesson.
Have a nice night!
Zac
The King is one of the many unusual characters the Little Prince encounters in his travels
