HOMEWORK
Home - Bring in sheets of cardboard. This is in preparation for a future project that is still months away, but I thought it prudent to begin gathering material now. I would appreciate all cardboard boxes be broken down into flat sheets for easier storage.
Writing - Postcard from the future. This is a project students were asked to do by some architects that came to visit the school this morning. These architects are planning the new site and would like student feedback, so the kids are writing "postcards from the future" that describe their ideal school/playground. These will be given to the architects.
TODAY
The day began with a visit from the architects. They gave a presentation on how they do their jobs. One of them designed for Disney and had a number of fun stories. You should ask your children about the Haunted Wedding Ring.
In Math we looked at a few problems dealing with missing numbers in division and multiplication problems. The architects presentation ate up much of our math time, so we'll finish up the lesson tomorrow.
We compared our character webs for Blood on the River, read chapter 4, and participated in a little Reader's Theatre.
In grammar, we began learning the routine for grading grammar homework.
