One student was home sick with cold symptoms. Another student had an afternoon appointment, so we were down to just four students this afternoon. Even so, today felt much more like a typical school day than our days last week.
We had religion, went over spelling for the week, started our new read-aloud book, did writers' workshop and Daily 5 minilessons, and had recess. Recess was in the gym since it rained on and off all day. I made a tape four-square area so we could play. I made the squares smaller since the ones outside are so huge. This size is much more like the usual four-square 'court.'
The smaller size squares threw them off a little, but they had so much fun! I love hearing their giggles when they get a good volley going. Two of them had a contest to see who could get the other out more times. It ended in a tie. Rematch tomorrow!
When we did science class, the student who was out sick tuned in to have class live with us using his Microsoft Teams account, just like we did last year during virtual learning. It was nice to have that as an option! Not quite the same as being in person, but he could at least be part of the class for part of the day. We made plans that if he's home sick again tomorrow, he'll tune in sooner for religion class.
