Daily Update:
The day started off a bit differently due to the rain, so we began indoors rather than on the playground. After watching the morning announcements, our spelling word was “responsible.” Our Show, Not Tell prompt today was “His candy was sour.” We moved into our Heggerty listening games, followed by doodling a turtle. Then, it was time for literacy rotations. In UFLI, we reviewed blends like “sh,” “ck,” and “th.” Our writing prompt was, “If I could talk to animals…” The rain kept us inside for snack and recess.

After Recess:
We jumped into math! It felt like it had been a while. The Grade 1s and 2s worked on representing numbers with base ten blocks and used comparison signs like less than, greater than, and equal to. Meanwhile, the Grade 3s practiced mental math strategies with doubles and created story problems based on addition.

PE:
We warmed up with basketball shooting drills and then switched to gymnastics skills. My upside-down days might be behind me, so I’ll leave the somersault skills to you!

End of Day:
Our Book of Gratitude prompt was “One kind thing I did for someone today was…” We wrapped up by reviewing our morning work and making any corrections before filling out our Home to School books.  I also added the hot lunch form for December (see attached pdf).  Then it was time for some responsible choices as we got ready to head home.

Picture of the Day:
Practicing our basketball shooting skills and having fun with it!
