Today we: began the day with the usual routine - phonetic sounds practice and the Word Work program. Being Friday, we did the general housekeeping - meaning we picked new chores for everyone to clean at the end of the day, new helpers for next week, and handing back some marked math check-in sheets.
The students had Literacy Block today instead of Black History Month writing. We rotated the groups and they were given tasks in their 5 Language Arts tasks.
Basketball continued in P.E. with some 5-vs-5 games. They had to make 3 passes before they could shoot baskets. Many students were thrilled to be playing games.
After snack the students got to cash in their Minecraft points and were given a full hour on the computers. I hosted a world for them to play in together. Some brought their own mouse from home to play better.
The day ended with a Valentine's Day Art exercise. Students were all given a sheet of paper with a giant heart on it, and their name. They had a bingo sheet for every student in the class and they had to go around to each page and leave a compliment for everyone in the class. These will be hung on the wall outside our classroom so stay tuned for a picture next week!
***IMPORTANT NOTICE: VALENTINE’S CARDS
Due to the new lifting of the Covid-19 restrictions for Monday, if you would like your child to be able to hand out Valentine’s cards they have made or purchased, they may now do so. This is fully optional and students or families should not feel obligated.
If you do wish to send cards, we ask that you adhere to the following guidelines:
- There must be one card for all children in the class. (A list of first names was sent home today for their reference.)
- Food items / candy cannot be included or sent to school. Non-edible items only please.
- Tell your child that if someone says, “No thank you” to receiving the card, that is also okay. There are many reasons that not all families will want to participate.
If you DO NOT want your child bringing cards home, please tell them to leave them at school. (Teachers will not be able to monitor this.)
