Daily Message: February 28
This morning in language arts I introduced a writing method called the "Four Square". Today the children used the four square writing method to write about zoo animals. Then they copied the rough draft for a final copy. Be sure to enjoy the writing piece and to ask your child to explain how the four square works.
Today in health the children were introduced to a change in perspective. Each child wrote a paragraph about what it could be like if they were a tooth in their own mouth. It was a good review of the location, type and special use of the teeth they are taking care of as well as continued practice in spelling and writing.
We continued to practice using strategies for subtraction facts. Fact families and related facts are the only strategies for many of the subtraction facts, so it is wonderful that the children have mastered the addition facts. We ended math class with some oral problem solving.
Yesterday the children visited the Book Festival. Each child was given a "wish list" where they listed books they would like to own (see attached pictures). The lists come home today. You may want to bring them if you are attending the family activity evening on Friday.
Yesterday in Chinese class the children practiced a hand clapping activity, counting in Chinese (see attached pictures). I was really impressed with the way they combined the hand movements with counting!
Today we celebrated Aneesh's birthday. We enjoyed seeing his special things. The children loved the cupcakes. We wish him a wonderful evening.
I will be leaving a bit early today. Mr. Wilson will be on hand if any of the children need help or have questions at the end of the day.
