We've just wrapped up an exhilarating week packed with excitement and valuable learning experiences. Let's delve into the highlights that made this week truly memorable:
Skiing Adventures:
Despite having only four school days, we managed to squeeze in another thrilling skiing session. It was incredible to witness everyone's progress on the slopes, with many conquering both green and blue runs by the end of the day. Special congratulations to SJ, who's gearing up for a night skiing adventure—a fantastic addition to our skiing repertoire!
Literary Exploration:
Our journey through the pages of "Heidi" has been captivating, offering us a glimpse into the writing style of the late 1800s. Through vocabulary enrichment and crafting sentences with challenging words, we've delved deep into the literary world, gaining valuable insights into character development and storytelling.
Outdoor Hiking Activities:
This week marked the beginning of our outdoor hiking adventures, starting with a scenic 2-3 hour trek to Kolob Reservoir. Safety and preparedness were paramount as we discussed gear preparation and hiking protocols. A big shoutout to Mrs. Bulloch for her enthusiasm and dedication to making our outdoor experiences enjoyable and enriching.
Mathematical Exploration:
In our math sessions, we delved into creating percentage word problems, finding excitement in the practical application of mathematical concepts. As we gear up for variable and graphing training, the allure of math deepens, with everyone agreeing that hands-on learning makes it more engaging and meaningful.
Robotics Resurgence:
While skiing took center stage this week, our robotics projects are set to resume next week, promising more opportunities for innovation and automation.
Grammar and Spelling Mastery:
A quick report on language skills: everyone is on track to complete the entire grammar and spelling unit. The comprehensive review has been instrumental in reinforcing key concepts such as adverbs, commas, and prepositional phrases.
As we reflect on this week's blend of adventure and academic growth, we're grateful for the enriching experiences and supportive community that define our school. Here's to another week of exploration, discovery, and memorable moments!
Warm regards,
The Teacher (Tim)
