POD: Posting Uplifting Reminders for Others!
It was a cold start to the day, and we’re officially at that time of year when winter coats, hats, and mitts are a must. Dressing warmly makes a big difference when we’re outside, and being cold is no fun!
Our spelling words today were 9, 19, 90, and 9000, and our “Show, Not Tell” sentence was “She loved the puppy.” We also did our Maze and took some time for a quick write about our Thanksgiving weekend and shared our stories with the class.
In math, we practiced representing numbers, solved word problems, and began talking about fractions—understanding that equal parts make something fair and balanced.
PE was full of energy! We had some open gym time, completed a four-corners workout circuit, and even looked at a few Halloween dance routines to get into the spooky spirit.
During Guidance, we went outside with Mrs. Lehnart. She read us a beautiful story about kindness, and we discussed what kindness looks like in our own classroom. It was a great reminder of how small actions can make a big difference.
After lunch, we had “read to self,” spent time on the Reading Park app, and added entries to our weather journals.
With Mrs. Doucet we talked about why it’s important to feel safe at school. Afterwards, we spread kindness around the building by putting up sticky notes with uplifting messages to remind everyone that they matter.
To end the day, we read more from School Days According to Humphrey. Humphrey is starting to worry that he might have the worst class ever—though we know things will turn around! We also watched some French vocabulary videos and finished the day with our Book of Gratitude, using the prompt “An act of kindness I witnessed today was…”
To end the day, we wished our Napan Cubs soccer team good luck as they headed to King Street Turf to take on King Street. Go Cubs—make us proud!
