Tuesday Dec. 8

 Tuesday December 8, 2020


We had an incredible day today!  There is so much learning still going on even though we are all excited about the break coming up very soon.


Highlights

1.  Mrs. Zwack's class read the lovely story Owl Moon as a model for personal narrative writing today.  Tomorrow, Mr. Kelly's class will do the same.  We learned that a personal narrative has the following characteristics: 

·       a story where you are the main character 

·       written using I  or  We “first person”

·       is focused on one main event, activity, experience

·       happens in one day

·       includes your reactions and feelings to what happened

      ·       has a lot of description and detail to make the reader feel like they were there with you



2.  We had a wonderful walk to the coulee this afternoon to reexamine habitats where our research animal might live.  We did some sketching from our animal's POV or Point of View which we will add to our research posters tomorrow.  























Something to Talk About

In math today we learned about making "nets" for various 3-D objects using 2-D shapes.  This is a tricky concept to learn!  What was most challenging for you in math today?







Reminders

Tomorrow we will have a virtual visit with Sa 'akokoto to learn about the winter solstice 

Thursday is Crazy Hat Day and Fun Snack

Mrs. Zwack's class will be filming their winter piece in music tomorrow so if you wish you may wear something festive!
