Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We had math. We played a new game called Up and Down the Ladder. One person rolls 2 dice and you put the counters on the bunk beds. Your partner flips over a card that says go up or down the ladder. One goes up or down. Then you say the addition number sentence. (Sophia)

We did P.E. We had stations. You had tidy up and move to the next one. (Bennett and Maggie)

We did a smelling test. We had jars that had smells. There was a cotton ball in the way so we couldn’t use our sense of sight. We had to guess. The smells were hand sanitizer, cinnamon, coffee, and chocolate. (Yahna)

We did writing. We used our rough draft. We copied the words on another piece of paper that will go into the book. (Serenity and Addison) Order information is in your child’s folder tonight! Please have this back to me by next Thursday the 13th at the very latest!! Here is the video I showed the kids about the publishing process https://youtu.be/qsm8go5gPRk

We did our poem. It was called Senses at Work. We got to highlight the word “look”. We put it in our poetry folder. (Kiernan)

We had Daily 5. We did one choice. (Brendan)

We watched a Class Dojo video. It said challenges make our brain stronger. (Mila) https://ideas.classdojo.com/b/growth-mindset

We had closing meeting, snack, and playtime. (Andy and Evie)
