After being away on Monday, it was great to get back to school today to put the final wraps on our Heritage Fair projects, but before we did, we did our usual Monday Morning warmup today, since I missed it yesterday. We did a tongue twister relay race outdoors, to get our brains and bodies moving. It was so much fun to see the students memorizing the tongue twister, and running back in forth to communicate the words they'd forgotten. I was super impressed to see the strategies each group adopted to make themselves more efficient. After seeing the Delicious Donuts nearly run the table in the tongue twister relay race, it was time to head back indoors (before the skies opened up), to grab a snack, and finish talking about the students' impressions and reflections on their hard work over the past few weeks. After recess we returned to our typing program, began tidying up the classroom ahead of this week's student led conferences. Following the lunch break, we read somewhat silently, then packed down to the gym for an Olympics inspired class of Bench Ball. The end of our day involved cleaning up the classroom, and getting our work organized for tomorrow's conferences.
REMINDER: Early Dismissal & Student Led Conferences - Wednesday 2pm - 730pm & Thursday 2pm - 4:30pm
Students will be dismissed at 1:45pm ahead of our student led conferences which begin each day at 2pm. I will be in attendance both days, but the intention of the conferences are for your son or daughter to show you around the class or school, and to demonstrate any work that they are proud of. These are not Parent-Teacher interviews, and as such, the expectation is that your child is present to be your guide, and that my role is as support if necessary. This term has been jam-packed with amazing work, and our intent is to have that work on display for you to wander around and take in tomorrow and Thursday night. I look forward to supporting your children as they explain, direct, and educate each of you about all the incredible things we've done over the past half year.
