Aujourd'hui, tous les enfants sont allés à la classe française.
Yes, we all went to French class today! Ask your child who their teacher was and what they worked on in French class!
I was away in the morning at the dentist and was happy to hear how hard the students worked for Mrs. Hofer! Ask your child to share with you something they learned when working on Mathletics.
In the afternoon we went and did our book exchange at the library and then worked on Daily Five. The students were very excited to share their presentations today on their Origins Interview projects. We listened to Brooke share her Keynote presentation about her Grandma who came from England! The students were amazed by the original photos of Brooke's grandma as a child and then of Brooke's great grandma as a baby (Grandma Brooke who Brooke was named for).
Bruce shared his poster on his interview of his dad who is originally from China! Bruce did an amazing job of laying out the questions, answers and pictures in a circular method all around his poster. He told the class that his favorite part was putting all the pictures and writing onto his poster. The students really enjoyed hearing about the many different sports that are popular in China, such as ping pong and badminton.
We will continue to listen to each other's presentations throughout this week. If your child is choosing to present a keynote or powerpoint,or has images that he or she would like to display, please feel free to email them tome so that we can project them on the Smartboard during the presentation!
