POD: A Missing tooth, but Missing from Where?
We came in from outside this morning to our guest teacher, Mrs. Hill, as Ms. Brown was away at meetings and Mr. McCallum was in the office. Even with a different start, we followed our regular routine and got right to work.
Our spelling words today were brunch, brisk, grasp, and voice. Our dictated sentence was “I will stay for brunch today.” We also continued our story introduction about Nina the cat who lived on a farm, adding more details about what kind of cat she is and where she lives. After that, we completed our Heggerty listening games and our maze.
During our writing lesson, we kept working on using adverbs to make our sentences more interesting and detailed.
In math, we reviewed some of our multiplication stories and practiced skip counting backwards by tens, which takes a lot of focus and thinking.
After recess, we stayed outside for guidance with Ms. Lehnart, going for a mindfulness walk in the woods. We took time to notice sounds, sights, and how our bodies felt in nature. We came back just in time for a quick workout in the gym before heading to lunch.
Lunch today was Subway hot lunch, which many students were excited about.
After lunch, we settled in for our regular Read to Self and Write to Self time. Mrs. Hill was very kind and gave us some extra writing time, which many students appreciated.
Next, we slipped across the hall to see Mr. Comeau, who taught us about homonyms—words that sound the same but have different meanings, like flu and flew. Ask your child which homonym they remember!
When we returned to class, Mrs. Hill continued reading our chapter book Ricky Ricotta and His Mighty Robot. We also reviewed some French vocabulary, watched a short video about humility, and completed our Book of Gratitude with the sentence starter:
“My favorite thing about today was…”
Before heading home, we signed our home-to-school books and packed up.
Get lots of rest tonight, and I’ll see you tomorrow.
