Hi parents,
We had a pretty good day today. The students worked hard on converting their paragraph plans into rough copies. Tomorrow, they'll be working on the final drafts. It feels like we've been working on this project forever!! But its easy to see the growth the students have made over the past few weeks. It'll be fun to compare their new paragraphs to the ones they wrote about earth many moons ago.
In math, we looked at a new type of graph - the pie chart. Students who were more familiar with fractions seemed to grasp the value of a pie chart right away. Students who were more familiar with pie were disappointed.
In the afternoon, we had Spelling Practice and Daily LA. We talked about the 'aw' sound, which occasionally is just made by a single letter 'a', like in 'water', and 'father'.
We ended our day by reading A Rover's Story. Please send in recyclable building materials if you haven't already done so!
I sent home forms about the Secret Santa Sock Exchange! If your child is interested in participating, please sign and send the form back by Thursday, December 14. Kids who don't participate in the Sock Exchange will still get to make and receive Christmas Cards with their classmates.
Have a nice night!
Zac
