The Second Class of the Grade 4 Binome

Class two, with four kids absent.

This was my recess duty this morning, inside the library watching kids read.

Tuesday, February 2^nd.

Rode to school again this morning on a beautiful warm sunny day. Today I was working with the other class, I had to try to learn 22 new names and repeat all of the activities from yesterday. But I had to do it in less time  because the hour and a half between recess and lunch the whole grade 3/4 team is released to do team planning. Today we were trying to sort through some logistics and routines. Then we started to organize the Friday afternoon sports activities that happen every week. All the grade 3's and 4's are to spend 50 minutes inside on health topics and then 50 minutes outside playing some sport. We have 8 teachers available and 160 kids, so we will take turns leading a lesson inside or out with about 20 students each.

We have one hour professional learning meetings after school on Mondays and Tuesdays every week. So today we talked in teams about our start up and shared some ideas and best practices.

I rode home again, dropped off the bike and walked over to Woolies to pick up some fruit and milk. Then home to do some work and get some insurance quotes. I got a quote for $300 for the year. I'm very happy about that and off to bed.
