The Week of October 3rd
Thank You
Thank you Mr. Pono and Mr. Torres for welcoming me into your classrooms on Monday. I enjoyed facilitating "The Toothpaste Lesson" which involved asking the children to squeeze toothpaste out of a tube and then try to get it all back in. They realized it was impossible, which led to the realization that trying to get toothpaste back into a tube is as impossible as trying to take words back that have already spoken. We brainstormed 'toothpaste words' they we needed to be careful about saying/not saying. I was very impressed with the level of respect and maturity of our fifth graders throughout this lesson and enjoyed reading their written reflections.
Thank you to the PTA for running the school store during both lunches on Friday!
Thank you also, PTA, for representing Greystone at the Fall Festival over the weekend, and passing out flyers!
