Dear parents,
Hope you had a lovely weekend (I can tell some people have been practising their backwards counting)! Thank you for all the forms, please keep sending!
Today our students worked in partners to create repeating patterns using coloured shapes, and then they drew the pattern they had created. Great work!
Today I introduced everyone to their special learning place. This is their spot on the carpet where they should always sit, unless we're making a circle. I have tried to place everyone in a spot where they can do their best listening. Ask them who they sit beside!
Tomorrow, your student will also notice that their desk place has been moved (no places are ever forever, they are always changing as they need to). Self-selecting places can be tricky since it's natural to want to sit with our best friends. I've tried to place people with new friends, and in a place where I can help them to do their best listening when they're at their desks. I appreciate your help in reassuring anyone who may be disappointed that they no longer have all boys or all girls at their group! Tomorrow you can ask who's in their new desk group!
That's it for now!
Have a great week,
Tamara
