Daily Update:
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fun and restful March Break. We jumped straight into our work this morning, but not before taking a few minutes to share stories about our week off. It was great hearing about all the exciting things everyone did! Our spelling word of the day was “operation.” Today's "Show, Not Tell" sentence was: “She was tired.” We explored creative ways to describe exhaustion through actions and expressions. We completed our Heggerty listening games and did a shortened reading maze before diving into our UFLI lesson on vowel teams. We learned that vowel teams are two or more letters that work together to create a single vowel sound. Our writing prompt today was “My March Break,” followed by a quick share session. To wrap up, we had some independent or buddy reading before grabbing a snack and heading outside.

After Recess:
In math, the Grade 1s and 2s began with a short March Break story share, then completed a subtraction quiz. We also had our first introduction to standard and non-standard units of measurement, discussing key measurement rules. Meanwhile, the Grade 3s practiced mental math strategies and worked on solving word problems involving sums and differences.

After Lunch:
We had a discussion on what it means to be a good listener and an engaged learner. Then, we read *Dragons Love Tacos*, which was a big hit! After our story, it was time for PE.

PE:
We started with a basketball warm-up before moving on to an exciting game of indoor soccer.

End of Day Routine:
To finish the day, we worked on French vocabulary related to school supplies and household rooms. Then, we reflected in our Book of Gratitude, responding to the prompt: “The best part of my day was when…”.

Picture of the Day:
Everyone completed their morning work and earned free choice time on the iPads—having a shorter reading maze definitely helped!
