Crashcourse Ketchup
Do to extraneous events I did not have time to properly document the events of Thursday the 29th. So on today's post, I describe both.
A Thursday of Lit- wait...- of GLORIOUS Significance
Today was the 100th day of school.
School's been going on for such a long time many of us can barely remember the exact events of the first day! But that's not a true way to experience the number 100.
So how can such a thing be accomplished?
By showing it, of course!
Every student was asked to bring 100 somethings to school and share what 100 of said somethings looked like.
As a first example, each child made a necklace of 100 fruitloops to wear and, eventually, joyfully consume.
After the necklaces of sugar came the presentation of the objects. We had a whole slew of examples from cereal to legos! Paul even brought 100 starburst for everyone to share!
It was a day of much joy, much amazement, and much sugar.
New Names, New Faces
Today, Monday the 2nd, Ms. Aerisolphals classroom was graced with the introduction of a brand new face.
Her name was Dipshika, or, in other words, something akin to डिप्शका, a name which means "soft light". Of Indian decent, her math skills are quite good, only she needs a little help with understanding non-numerical symbols, and she seems able to handle reading and writing rather well too.
I see a lot of good things in Dipshika and I hope she can be confident enough to join her new class as a fellow friend and schoolmate.
Lupita even offered Dipshika her coat when the room got too cold. That lifted a lot of Dipshika's shyness. I can't wait to see all the students again!
Love the idea for the 100th day of school! Give some examples of what the kids did for their 100 things and how the activity worked in a math lesson too.
