Good Afternoon,
It is truly a teacher's gift when Halloween falls on a Saturday. Just thinking about it brings tears of joy to my eyes! I hope your children enjoy tomorrow and have a safe and wonderful Halloween. This week, we spoke with our friends from Canada. Although we struggled through some technical difficulties, the session proved to be fun for everyone. Today we had a completely different afternoon than that of a typical Friday. After lunch, Mr. Mongeon and I introduced the students to a photography project that they will do throughout the year. We talked about how to take good pictures and then kids all practiced. These pictures will be part of an end of the year celebration.
We celebrated Halloween by focusing on math. The students used pumpkins and worked as 1st and 2nd grade teams to find the circumference, weight, height, and other features of their pumpkins. They also worked with Monster Symmetry. Their work should be in their bags.
Here is a video of the last two weeks in our class.
Notes:
*There is no Weekly News or Reading Homework in their bags. The Halloween activities trumped these things today. Look for them again next Friday.
*I am still missing 4 ski forms from my students. If you haven't already, please fill it out and send it back on Monday.
I hope you have a great weekend.
Tommy
