Hi parents,
We had another awesome day today. The students did a lot of work, especially for this early in the year, and I really wish I could share some of it but we've got to do the media clearance forms first...
This morning the students wrote Acrostic Poems using their names. They learned how to use bubble letters too. For each letter of their name, they wrote a word, or phrase, that connected to them in some way.
In math, we did a Math About me page, where the students found numbers relevant to their lives (for example, I am 34 years old, I have 2 siblings, I was born on the 25th day of, etc.) and then they wrote equations that corresponded with each number. For example, 30 + 4 = 34, I am 34 years old. I really enjoyed seeing how creative some of the responses were.
In the afternoon, we played Bench Dodgeball in Gym, did some quiet reading, and then practiced spelling again.
All in all we are off to a fantastic start to the year. I am really happy with how respectful and engaged the students have been. I feel like we'll do a lot of learning this year.
Have a nice night,
Zac
