Happy Monday, Folks!
Mr. Redding took the kids to Music class first thing; they worked on the Christmas play.
Upon their return we reviewed some basic principles of printing while writing a practice spelling quiz about numbers. I have given them a list of numbers that can create problems while spelling (fourteen, forty-four, eighty, etc.) There will be a QUIZ on Friday with these numbers.
Then they finished up FSAs: writing samples and math problems.
Next they did a reflection piece about their Zentangle hand from the beginning of the year for their ART Journal.
After recess, students who hadn't yet completed their writing / math continued. At 11:20 we went to gym and played Bench Ball.
After lunch, during Career Education, we resumed our talk about Core Competencies, specifically Communication. Students colour-coded their "I can ... " statement sheets and put them into their duotangs for continued reference throughout the year. We will continue discussing the other core competencies in the days to come.
Once done, they had time for Agendas, board games, and book exchange.
REMINDER: Art Card money / orders are due Friday so that they can be back in time for Christmas!
