Dear Parents,
Today in gym we practiced stick handling. We had to keep the tennis ball on our stick. It's important to keep your hockey stick on the floor! Ask me why?! We also had some target practice. We used a bowling pin as the target and tried to knock the pin down. In math we came up with a Cinderella problem.
The question was:
If there were 17 girls in the Kingdom, how many feet were there in total?
What if there were 23 girls? 43 girls?
We talked about the different ways we could solve the problem. Ask me what I did to figure it out.
We finished off the day by reading another version of Cinderella. This one was written by Barbara McClintock. There were many differences. The main difference was in the original version, Cinderella went to one Ball, in this version, there were two Balls!
Enjoy your evening!
Love,
The Grade Ones
