First of all, a big thank you to all the parents and children who contributed backpacks to the Third Street Olympics activity on Saturday. I was at a training at the Getty Villa – our next field trip – and I could not be there, but you can imagine how pleased I was when I learned this morning that our class had contributed the most to this project. A special thanks to the clients of Akiko Morrison who provided backpacks filled with school supplies on behalf of our room. You folks not only have a great trainer, but huge hearts. Thanks so much.
Today was mostly a normal day, but we did have one special activity. Akiko had made arrangements with one of her fellow trainers to come and do yoga poses with our class. Gina was fabulous! She made the students feel comfortable even when the stretched might have been a little challenging, and nobody felt afraid to try. That was great, and with such excellent teaching out students really excelled as you can see below.
The rest of the day was pretty typical. We did correct our last math test, and I hope to get those on the grade book soon. I know I’m behind on grading, but hey, catching up what testing time is for!
Homework: (1) Arrange the spelling words in a tree map. (2) Do the “Golden Gate Bridge” handout. (3) Finish reading “California in World War II” in the history book and do the study sheet. (4) Do “Find the Volume of a Prism,” Math, pages 522-523. (5) Do “Too Much Information / Too Little Information,” Math, pages 534-535.
