A Brief Peek into Week Twenty-Six in Lower Elementary North
This week we found time:
- to play with some musical notes, turning them into words and playing the results on the tone bars. Side note, “a bead” is rather pretty.
- debate whether a definite article indicates the presence of a proper noun or not
- calculate the volume of the history shelf materials
- and get outside!
Books we are reading:
- Tale of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Judy Blume
Skills we are practicing:
- Physical distancing
Overheard
“Can’t I parse my CBM?”
“Hazelnut is not a proper noun.” “Yes, it is. It’s the fourth hazelnut. It’s a specific nut.”
“Philip? You mean like in Hamilton?”
“If the universe contains everything including what we’ll never learn then we can’t
learn it here.”
“My shirt is the color of a verb.”
“I like that we have the freedom to speak kindly to one another.”
Santih,
Nancy and Maria
