Welcome Back,
Hope you all had a good break whether you stayed in the city or went out to visit.
Thinking Gum:
We have had a discussion about ‘thinking gum’ in the classroom. I do not have an issue with someone chewing small pieces of gum to help them focus upon their work. The rules are that they must remain seated, the gum is chewed quietly in the mouth, the gum stays in the mouth and we do not share it with others. The student is responsible for keeping it safe in their desk and using it as a tool to help them focus.

What have we learned today:
Please note that we have changed our way of describing our day. Instead of sharing what we have done today, we are sharing what we may have learned personally or together as a large group.
Daily Challenge:
Today we talked about making sure that your story is understood whether it is a picture or words. What can you do to make your story better so that you or others can understand what is going on?
Hope you all had a good break whether you stayed in the city or went out to visit.
