Dear Parents,

Today, we had a “Habits of Healthy Kids” lesson with Ms. Schmidt where she emphasized and reviewed the principles of putting first things first (prioritizing), thinking win-win (cooperation), and planning with the end in mind (planning). Then, we went outside for DPA – they had an extended DPA today for good behaviour in the last week before Winter Break and this first week back. So happy it wasn’t raining today, the fresh air was so nice! Then, the students worked on their Turtle Island comic strips from yesterday. They are looking really good so far.

After lunch, we worked on our energy conservation projects and planning how we can save energy in our own lives next week. Playing with snap circuits was the highlight of the day, as the students looked so engaged in building different projects in our snap circuit kits and circuit maze. It was very neat and I will be sharing some videos on Fresh Grade as well.

Then, we had a writing lesson after recess where we worked on writing New Year’s resolutions and this is due tomorrow if they are not done that page. They are not to work on the last page yet, just the one we started in class.

Sincerely,

Ms. Wilks
