This information is also found in Walter's weekly email:
It was a busy and very productive week! In math
class, we continued our exploration with probability, using coin tosses. We
also did some fun activities with the probability of someone picking a number,
and the frequency of certain letters in the alphabet. Of course, work in the
Singapore Math books continues - each child working at their own pace, with
lots of help from a very dedicated group of parent helpers.
Children finished their pen pal letters, and
proudly sent them off on Friday morning. They were very excited to get their
first letters waiting for them when they came in from lunch recess! Now that
they have their pen pals, we will spend some fun weeks writing back and forth.
Look at the amazing mailbox Grace made! She also snapped these adorable pictures of the children mailing their first pen pal letters - the joy is real!
Lexi and Dillon did a wonderful job, as usual,
when it was their turn for special readers. We also took turns reciting a poem
from our anthology, and then each picked one poem they thought they did an
especially good job on. This “best work” went into the children’s portfolios.
This type of self reflection is really important, and encourages students to do
an even better job next time.
Earth Day is Sunday, so we spent some time
reading about taking care of our planet.
