Thursday Thrills
Francis was our child of the day and read Father Bear Comes Home...a real favorite! Listen to him later tonight on the website as he did a GREAT job! We all really enjoyed listening to him.
What a BUSY, BUSY day! We went to the book fair first thing this morning, then came back into the room to finish our work on Jabberwocky. Then we went outside to hear the South Elgin High School Marching Band (Go STORM!). They were wonderful!!!! When your students are older I hope you will take advantage of the district musical instrument program. You will never, never, regret it!
When we came back in we went right to music class. When the students returned, they worked on their mental images for Jabberwocky. We will share those tomorrow.
Returning from lunch we had our Junior Achievement representative here. The class learned about unit production and assembly production. They made "donuts" in a unit production scenario and then in an assembly line scenerio. They learned that although they didn't make as many donuts on the assembly line, they had few defects. There was a lot of waste in the unit production line. A great lesson!
We follwed this up with art class, listened to Francis read, and then went home. Phew!
Remember Homefun is due tomorrow. We also have gym, so be sure and wear appropriate shoes or have them here.
