Daily Update:
After the video announcements, our spelling word was “interested,” and our Show, Not Tell was “The river was calm.” We completed our Heggerty listening games, tackled a reading maze, and did some quick exercises before practicing our Christmas concert song. During literacy rotations, we focused on the “ch” sound and worked on refining our letter mechanics.
After Recess:
In math, the Grade 1s and 2s used their hundreds charts—Grade 1s focused on identifying missing numbers, while Grade 2s practiced starting at one number and adding a two-digit number. Grade 3s worked on skip counting forwards and backwards by 5s, 10s, 25s, and 100s. They also spent some time on DreamBox to reinforce their skills.
After Lunch:
We joined Mrs. Robichaud in the library, where students learned about recognizing dangerous situations and how to respond to them safely. They discussed making decisions that help keep them and others safe.
PE:
Mr. Ross introduced indoor baseball, a fantastic game for learning rules and teamwork. Baseball has so many little details to master, but everyone caught on quickly!
End of Day:
To end the day, we worked on our Book of Gratitude with the prompt, “Something nice someone said to me today was...” Afterward, students had some responsible and free choice time. Home to School books were packed with report cards. Parent-teacher interviews will be held Thursday evening and Friday morning from 9-11. A copy of the request form is attached to this post.
