- Penguin-mania is up and running! The students had some very interesting thoughts on penguins to share today. It was neat to hear whether or not students thought that penguins had feathers (they do - very tiny ones!) or if they could fly (they can't - they swim!). We read a non-fiction book and discussed lots of new facts we learned and then students recorded three facts in their journals. Tomorrow the fact-finding will continue!
- We are also going to be working less with the Calendar to spend more daily time developing Mental Math practice. Our goals for mental math in grade 1 are: counting on, making 10, and doubles.
- I will be staying home tomorrow, unless by some miracle this head pain and congestion vacate my body! The students know that there will likely be a TTOC in class tomorrow, but please remind them in the morning.
- Samuel Ba. is Special Helper tomorrow.
