Monday, October 23

 Hi parents,

We had an okay day today. There was a lot of chatting and off-task behaviour sadly, and so even though the students were able to get through all the work, it probably could've been better if they'd used their time more effectively.

In the morning, we worked on our good copies for our Jason Carter-inspired artwork. This part of the day actually did go pretty well, and the artwork is coming along nicely.

Our next activity involved reading through articles about Earth, and making jot notes. We're going to do a fairly big paragraph writing task later in the week, on the topic of Earth, so this activity was mostly intended to just get the gears turning. We'll follow up with some planning time tomorrow, which I hope the students take advantage of, because today's work was just okay.

In the afternoon, we did some more work in Science, and learned about Carrots. The students created venn diagrams to compare carrots with pumpkins. This was pretty fun because there are actually a lot of pretty interesting similarities and differences. We learned that pumpkins are 'fruits' and carrots are vegetables, and also that when you eat a carrot, you're eating the root of the plant.

We ended our day with spelling practice. 

Have a nice night!

Zac
