Our day kicked off with a trip to the gym, but not for athletics but rather to listen to the WGSS concert band! They put on a 45 minute concert, that had heads bobbing, fingers snapping and toes tapping all morning. When we returned we worked on completing our artwork from yesterday. After recess, the class was divided in 2, with half working on Reflex Math online, while the other half joined me at the rainbow table to use long division to figure out some frightening budget realities. We first calculated the cost to travel to and from Willowbrook to get at Starbucks coffee, then moved onto the more terrifying reality of how much it may cost them to attend University to complete a Degree program, and the amount they would need to start putting away every month to pay for their post-secondary education.
After lunch and silent reading, it was off to gym to play Basketball or Laundry Basket Ball, and then we capped our day by organizing and preparing for next week's Student-Led Conferences.
