Daily Update:
We kicked off the morning by reflecting on yesterday's work, discussing ways we could improve. Our spelling word today was Empathy, and our "Show, Not Tell" sentence was: "She had just learned to walk." After some Heggerty Games, we quickly doodled a fall scene at 1.75 speed before trying out a new exercise: Knee Raises. Literacy time included reviewing our "Work on Writing" outcomes, rotating through writing (the prompt: "Baby Kade is..."), Read to Self, and UFLI sessions focused on vowel sounds, the blending board, and spelling practice. The room was buzzing with concentration!

Math:
Mr. Ross's group tackled skip counting and worked on representing numbers in multiple ways: concretely, pictorially, symbolically, and with expressions and words. Meanwhile, Mr. McCallum's group engaged with base 10 blocks to represent numbers, followed by skip counting practice. Both groups made great progress.

After Lunch:
We continued reading The One and Only Ivan, where one of the elephants shared a powerful story about falling into a human-made hole. We discussed how the humans reacted—were they helpful or harmful? We also started a new 3D print project and are hopeful it turns out well!

In PE:
Mr. Ross led us in some running drills, jumping jacks, and a tag game with a twist—you had to tag someone with a ball, but couldn’t throw it. Everyone had fun strategizing and getting their heart rates up!

Day End:
At the end of the day, we reflected on surprises that made us happy, adding those thoughts to our Book of Gratitude. After signing our Home to School Books, we made sure fundraising tickets from Home & School were sent home. We wrapped up with a little free choice time before catching the bus. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Picture of the Day:
I went outside to investigate yesterday's games and found a tag game I could finally understand!
