I really can't explain how much faster a great day zooms by. Our Math lesson today turned into working with adding by doing a closed number line. We practiced practiced and practiced. The idea was using the number line to do addition to help with subtraction. After we practiced practiced practiced i set the kids lose to try it themselves and then some very cool math work and a new mathamagician was crowned. One of the kids created her own strategy using the number line and subtracting rather than adding and nailed it :) It was very cool.
Social Studies which has become one of the students favourite things was all about governments and how we have to provide services. In "government mode" the kids play roles like Prime Minister or Minister of Finance and Opposition party leaders and debate and vote. We are planning our Halloween party currently and had to discuss if we should raise our taxes to inflate our budget haha. The debate continues on.
Friday tomorrow and the kids will tell you in will be 2 days until my birthday. We have been counting down all week.
Cheers,
-Mr.G
