Thursday Musings: January 10, 2019

Today's chorus concert was absolutely beautiful. Children recited poetry, sang beautiful songs, and shared tributes to the school principal and the many musicians that supported the inspiring performance. Our wonderful music teacher demonstrated her exceptional skill and dedication when she led the many talented young singers with humility and grace. As you can imagine, this put everyone in the school in a great mood.

The rest of the day was spent reviewing math skills, reading books, and of course time for recess.

Tomorrow will find students reviewing geometry vocabulary and skills, taking a math assessment, engaging in science exploration, listening to read aloud, playing instruments, and reading to their kindergarten buddies.

Next week will find us digging deeper with division with a review of a variety of algorithms, problem solving, model making, and math talk. The week also includes a visit from our naturalist coach and another math assessment. The key is to encourage our wonderful young learners to do their best, persevere, ask questions when they need help or are curious, and collaborate with one another to continue to make our teaching/learning community a top-notch opportunity and environment to learn. Onward.
