Tuesday May 8th

Notices :
Class photo Day is Friday
Food For Fun is this Friday

We began the day with the students writing a type of  "I am" poem.  The students had to fill in an answer sheet to prompts like: I am, I think, I see, I found etc.  then they had to draw a picture and write out the poem in alternating colors.

After recess the wrote out a quote by  Kahlil Gibran On Children.  This is the thought for the week and handwriting practice.  We talked about the quote and the students wrote it out in their best handwriting. 

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

This was followed by math where the students worked on finishing their large pictograph and tally sheet.


After lunch we had P.E. against Mrs. Carlton's class followed by 30 minutes of silent reading before doing an art project for the special day on Sunday. 

Pictures will be added tonight for today and yesterday...
