Hi parents,
We had a great day today. The spelling quiz went really well, although I forgot to hand them back after I marked them.
In writing, we did one last conjunction / compound sentence writing activity, in which students were given a simple sentence, and asked to end it in five different ways, using different conjunctions.
For example:
The kitten went to school,
-but he didn't learn anything.
-although he would rather have stayed home.
-because he snuck into his owner's backpack.
and so on.
I'm hoping that all this work with compound sentences will help students expand on choppy, short sentences and make their writing flow a bit better.
In math, we did some toilet-themed algebra problems. The kids had a lot of fun with these and many chose to keep advancing through increasingly difficult problems, even after completing the required work.
In Gym we had some games of Pillow Polo, and the class showed great effort and sportsmanship, while also playing safely.
Stay tuned for next week's spelling words, and have a nice weekend!
Zac
