Hi parents,
Sorry about the spelling words fiasco. I don't know how I missed posting them. Our quiz is still going to be tomorrow, because we have spent quite a bit of time in class on these words, and I think the students have mostly got them down.
Today we did more work with the Stamp Game. We have started to work on using the standard algorithm side by side with the stamp game so that the kids can see the process of 'carrying the one', aka 'regrouping', in action.
Yesterday we finished reading Wayside School, and today, the students started writing their own Wayside School stories. They had the option to start a story from scratch, or to finish a story from a given beginning.
In the afternoon, we learned about the significance of the eagle in many indigenous cultures. We watched a video about how the eagle represents the virtue of 'love', and as such, an eagle feather is a symbol of this virtue as well. Then, the students sketched feathers, and painted them orange, to make a little orange shirt day art display.
Orange Shirt Day is tomorrow! Please remind your child to wear an orange shirt if they have one, and if not, maybe just a shirt they really like.
Have a nice night,
Zac
