Sept. 10

We continued to build on our understanding what a problem is. Tiny/little problems are problems that you can solve on your own, medium problems take a little bit of adult help to solve, and big/huge problems sometimes take the experts to figure out. The big problems take time, perseverance, hard work, sweat, tears, and often a community effort to solve. We talked about expected/appropriate reactions to different types of problems and will continue to refer back to this language. Ask your child to explain how they might feel and react to a little, medium, and big problem. Does the reaction match the problem?

Take a look at the Catastrophe Scale below. These were some of the problems that we identified last week from our picture sorting activity.




We started using the morning work books today. In these, we are going to work on different tasks that are related to what we are working on in math and writing.

At lunch today, we had the first sneak-a-peak choir practice today. We started learning a song that was sung by a little girl to another child. We also reviewed the musical notes do, re, me, fa, and so. If you did not go to choir,  there was indoor recess where the rest of the Grade 3s and 4s played Rock Paper Scissors Tag.

Have a great night!
