Monday, June 15 (and Spelling Words for this week)

 Hi parents,

Report cards are more or less written so I can get back to doing daily blogs. :)

We had a pretty good day today. In the morning, the students did some poetry reading. They each received a different, simple verse poem, practiced it, and then read it or recited it aloud in front of the class.

We went over this week's spelling words (see end of this blog), had music, and played basketball in gym.

In the afternoon we did Quiet Reading, and then learned about percentages. The students learned how to convert a fraction /10 into a fraction /100, and then how to write that as a percentage. They also discussed times when they may have heard the phrase '___ percent' in daily life - its funny how a lot of kids start talking about percentages way before they actually know how to calculate it! 

Hopefully today's lesson will help us avoid a generation of young Scott Steiners.

Tomorrow is our Walking Field Trip to the Fish Creek Library! We are hoping to leave LBS at 8:30am.  

Have a nice night,

Zac
