Today we visited the library and came back down to the classroom to experience 10 minutes of silent reading. This will be the beginning homework expectation. We all agreed that it felt very fast. Students are encouraged to read as much as possible and we will work up to a half hour at home 4 days per week or two hours outside of class.

In math, students began making maps of the room and identifying where some important things are and labeling. This will be a very useful math skill (along with every other class we do here.)

Today's homework is to bring home your assignment sheet and share with parents. Parents are asked to sign the sheet when students have explained the day. A few students forgot that part yesterday so they will ask parents to sign for Wednesday and Thursday. Brilliant also has a sheet from World Language. Students may want to continue decorating journals at home.

Ask about: My brain and me, classroom maps, decorating journals, reading alone, library, world language, p.e., exploratories - art, design tech, guidance or health.
