Hi parents,
We had a pretty good day today! In the morning, the students started planning for a big writing project. They are going to be writing orginal short stories. Based on what I've seen so far, they've got a lot of creative writing talent, and execptional writing stamina - so I think if we pace this out over the next week or so, these stories could actually end up being quite good! Please talk with your child at home about their story plan, and give them feedback and suggestions. We're going to try writing the beginnings of the stories tomorrow.
In math, we officially started division. The students worked as a whole class to illustrate the concept of division by dividing themselves into equal groups. We talked about how to interpret or write a division equation, and how to use simple written stategies to solve basic problems.
In Social Studies, we've been learning about Canadian History, and the age of exploration. We learned about Jaques Cartier today.
Our Cornhole Boards are pretty much finished! I think they turned out awesome, I may even have to bid on them myself....
Have a nice night,
Zac
