Due to a lack of…enthusiasm? (Ie. Many assignments not being handed in) We’ve been having a lot of classroom discussion lately on how the students prefer to learn. I haven’t sent emails out yet because I still feel like we are finding our groove as a class.
Essentially no one likes to be told what to do and they all want to figure out how to do things themselves. This work well on Tuesday, and my students produced some really fantastic projects and presentations within a day. This also resulted in much discussion about what it means to pay bills and how we often only get out what we are willing to put in.
So we’re going to try changing things up for two weeks. We’ll see how it goes. Feel free to ask your child about the new “system” and how they’re feeling about it.
Class work:
Dictée 3 – test tomorrow!
Math – 6s – Pg 8 + 9 #1-4, 6, 9
Independent novel study – It looks like everyone has a book chosen. Please talk to your child about their book. Ask about characters and plot lines. They can take until the 24th to finish reading it but the earlier the better! Written work will be coming home tomorrow. Parents need to sign when the work is complete.
