Thursday, September 26
We have had a really fun Thursday! The highlight of the day for most of the class was, of course, our first Positive Choices reward! Students have worked hard this month and shown lots of kindness, leadership, and work ethic, and have certainly earned this celebration! We had fun showing off our pjs and stuffies, building blanket forts, and having free time on the computers! Students were also excited to discover that we are already halfway towards our next Positive Choices reward! Keep up the great work!
Some student thoughts on our reward:
We are almost finished reading 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones, and are eager to read the conclusion tomorrow!
Reminders:
“The Positive Choices reward was so great! We get to do it
all over the year, all different, all better!”
“I was really excited for it and I could barely stop moving I was so excited. I love Prodigy; it’s such a fun game!”
We also had fun in Math today, playing the Guinness World Records game in partners. We played this number game on Monday as a full class, but today was our first opportunity to play in pairs, allowing each student to make guesses and assist their partner in discovering the numbers for various records and collections. This work allowed students to practice their skills around number sense, place value, comparing and ordering numbers, and representing numbers in words and in standard form (numerically).
Some student thoughts on the Guinness World Records game:
“The Guinness World Records was really informative.”
“We did the Guinness World Records hamburger collection. My
partner was really fast because the number was really easy.”
We also continued with our plant and animal wetland research for Science, which some students completed today! For the students who are not yet done, there will be more class time tomorrow.
We are almost finished reading 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones, and are eager to read the conclusion tomorrow!

- Wetland Field Trip Reflections are due TOMORROW
